I installed Docker per the nags from BOINC lately, I figured it must be helpful. After a couple of days, I started getting jobs assigned to my Docker container(s).

The problem is that the jobs running in the Docker container have no identifying information in the tasks. I have a pile of tasks that say "Docker Universal app 1.10 (docker)" under Application and - for example - "batch_394_job_jon-002777_0"

Without identifying information of what my machine is running in container(s), I am rather reluctant to continue allowing Docker to do anything with your projects. I am not at all interested to donating my computing time and electric bill money to mystery work.

Is there a trick I'm missing? As I understand, there is only one project running in Docker containers and I have no qualms with a mathematics job running on my machine, but what about when there are 8 jobs that run in containers...

Thanks!
