This is not the best way to post this content to HN. The title is a poorly written list of three different articles. There aren't really many things linking the three topics, so they really shouldn't be grouped together. Which one is someone supposed to discuss in here?

Honestly I'd happily discuss any of the topics, especially the one command let's encrypt docker topic. The team and I are crazy excited about let's encrypt and the potential of zero downtime deployments using a container architecture

I'm looking into integrating my nginx containers with LetsEncrypt too. Maybe with a dedicated container for the LE client that accepts new domain requests and keeps certs up to date, and confd + etcd/consul/etc to deploy certs and configs to nginx containers.

How does content like this make it to the front page? This is the index page of a marketing blog. This is spam from rackspace.

It's not a marketing blog actually; it's a developer blog by my team and I who work heavily and provide technical details on how we're doing interesting things with docker and swarm.

Literally nothing is written by "marketing" - just developers. And it's definitely not spam, if you look at https://getcarina.com/blog/push-button-lets-encrypt/ for example it's a complete tutorial on a simple nginix and docker let's encrypt post.

If it ever a marketing blog, I'll happily give myself a wedgie.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it's a marketing blog run by developers. Marketing isn't some specific department certified as containing Marketers by the federal government. It's an activity with a goal to expand the market reach for a product, service, brand, or any other entity.

This is marketing content... And there's nothing wrong with that! We all market ourselves every day of the year. We may not admit to it or realize it, but it's inescapable.

It would have been better for you to have submitted that or another interesting post, instead of submitting this list of posts.

It's a little late to point that out considering most of the technical blog articles you see on HN are of this sort.
