Merge with registrator

[korya]

What do you think guys about merging this project with registrator?

It seems that the goals of both projects are the same:

• auto-registration of services running in docker containers
• integration with various service discovery tools (skydns, etc.)

In addition, registrator supports multiple backends (consul, "raw" etcd, skydns2), and it seems to be maintained ;)

what would skydock bring to registrator that it already does not have?

[korya]

First, there are some tutorials over the net talking about skydns + skydock. Although these tutorials are outdated, when you start googling for a docker service discovery solution, you find them first, you come to skydock repo and find out that it's outdated. Then, either you keep searching and find registrator (or any other solution), or you fork skydock and try to make it work with skydns2 and reinvent the wheel again and again.

Second, I really like the idea of plugins. Today to customize registrator, you have to make some voodoo with ENV variables of every single container, instead of just adding a plugin that will handle it.

Anyway, you can at least mention registrator in your README as a updated and working alternative for skydock.
