+docker specifics
+----------------
+
+This page talks about docker, as this is the platform the rsyslog
+team has hands-on experience with. Some or all of the information
+might also apply to other solutions.
+
+Potential Trouble causes:
+
+- container terminate timeout
+
+  By default, a docker container has 10 seconds to shut down. If rsyslog
+  is running with a large queue that needs to be persisted to disk,
+  that amount of time might be insufficient. This can lead to a hard
+  kill of rsyslog and potentially cause queue corruption.
+
+- shared work directories
+
+  Shared work directories call for problems and shall be avoided. If
+  multiple instances use the same work directory, the may even overwrite
+  some files, resulting in a total mess. Each container instance should
+  have its own work directory.
