These are the key scripts used by the Mup project:
[table]

docker-setup.sh,Installs Docker if it isn't already installed
meteor-setup.sh,Create /opt/meteor and subdirs
meteor-start.sh,cd /opt/<AppName>; config/start.sh
meteor-stop.sh,sudo docker rm -f <AppName>; docker rm -f <AppName>-frontend
[/table]

Startup Script

Here's an example startup script from an app called AppName:

#!/bin/bash

APPNAME=AppName
APP_PATH=/opt/$APPNAME
BUNDLE_PATH=$APP_PATH/current
ENV_FILE=$APP_PATH/config/env.list
PORT=8008

# Remove previous version of the app, if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME

# Remove frontend container if exists
docker rm -f $APPNAME-frontend

# We don't need to fail the deployment because of a docker hub downtime
set +e
docker pull abernix/meteord:base
set -e

docker run \
  -d \
  --restart=always \
  --publish=$PORT:80 \
  --volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
  --hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
  --env-file=$ENV_FILE \
  --link=mongodb:mongodb --env=MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/$APPNAME \
  \
  --log-opt max-size=100m --log-opt max-file=10 \
  \
  \
  --name=$APPNAME \
