None that I know of; I'm new to Docker so I might be wrong though.

True; were it possible, I'd suggest naming them e.g. dkrXXX instead of XXX
to make it easier to understand that those are Docker-created jails and not
some abomination. In other words, seconded. But I suspect there could be
some reasons why that wasn't done this (obviously better) way...

Well, it doesn't do what it's supposed to, so it should be fixed but I
agree it's definitely not urgent if Docker can be fixed to name jails more
appropriately.
