It did!

So there used to be a tool called dockersh, which was supposed to do that. I 
could never get it to work however :(

So instead, you could do this another way:
* Spin up "x" number of your docker containers - where "x" represents the 
number of concurrent sessions you are wanting to have
* Put haproxy infront - and configure "x" backends - haproxy should in theory 
just connect a TCP session to a container, and you can do smart things like 
round robin, etc.
* When the user logs off, "kill 1" - which kills the container PID 1.

Now, if you have the containers set in a swarm (which is what I use all the 
time), then it will automatically restart the container (and it will be clean 
ready for the new user).

If you dont use swarm, just make sure the contain starts with -restart always 
(I think is the syntax).

I'll give it a go :)
