Can I change container name?

[pahaz]

I have two projects.
One /home/app1/source and /home/app2/source.

And both containers have same name source_web_1, and after fig up start only one of them.
How to fix it?

See #45 for some discussion, for now there is a command line option -p

+1 I'd love to see functionality to individually name containers. Unless I missed something in the documentation.

@kcmerrill unfortunately, at this stage, this is not possible. Fig relies on the projectname_servicename_xx convention to find which containers belong to a project. It's a "hack" and the maintainers are well aware of that. Work is in progress "upstream" in docker to add meta-data to containers, which will allow more flexible naming.

Having said that, I think the original question was answered and this issue can be closed, @dnephin ?

Yup, you can use -p or FIG_PROJECT_NAME to set a project name.

#652 is the issue for explicit names, so I agree we can close.
