Docker Studio - on VirtualBox, Docker /etc/hosts are reset at start, probably because v1.11

[mdutoo]

Workaround : when a Container starts, copy / paste hosts manually in its /etc/hosts before the application reads it (!), using docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash and vi (requires to add it in the Docker image).

My VirtualBox VM is the standard Boot2Docker (1.11.1-rc1 (TCL 7.0); HEAD : 903a352 - Tue Apr 26 14:18:06 UTC 2016) created by the Docker Studio when using a VirtualBox Compute, which provides a Docker version (1.11.1-rc1, build c90c70c) that is way newer than what is advised (1.8.3.0).

When one of its Docker container is started, its /etc/hosts is reduced to itself (its IP & hostname). But on OW2's Open Stack infrastructure, it rightly contains also IPs & hostnames of all other containers within the VM (even if not linked together).

UPDATE: I've deleted my Boot2Docker 1.11 VM since I had downgraded to docker 1.8.3 since its creation back then and let the Docker Studio create a new one, but it's again 1.11 ! => so how to get an 1.8.3 Boot2Docker VM ???

Maybe it's not useful anyway since it should work WITHOUT hostnames being in /etc/hosts as said in #121 --add-host (the source container of a Docker link sees the host of its target container allright) ?
