+**Docker systemd service**
+=========================
 
 This role lets you configure a docker container and run it as a systemd service on **debian-based** distributions. This role is heavily sourced from [mhutter.docker-systemd-service](https://github.com/mhutter/ansible-docker-systemd-service), but aims at providing some of the missing features of said role.

-The state the service should be put in. Valid options are: `reloaded`, `restarted`, `started`, `stopped`, and `absent`. Realistically, you probably want to use `started` or `stopped`. `absent` can be used to remove the service and all associated files from the host.
