Since the original message has been removed it is difficult to
explain what I mean with undocumented. But interested parties can
look it up. Especially the "Name" argument, that included an IP
address. The resulting behaviour is very useful if the computer has
been configured in a way where Erlang/OTP can not find out the fully
qualified host name. But I have not seen this documented.<br>

Since "-name <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:n@a.b.c.d">n@a.b.c.d</a>" is undocumented, I wonder if there
is another possibility to use distributed Erlang with
Docker?<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
