If you've tried the systemd-based installation, you might have noticed
that the output you get from docker run is different from the old
ways. Instead of the ipa-server-install output

	http://fpaste.org/306943/

you will see systemd output listing its operations on services, namely
many starts and stops:

	http://fpaste.org/306944/

The old output definitely made it easier to see what is happening,
the new output is closer to what you'd expect from IPA server on
a machine.

Similar change happens during subsequent start or upgrade from older
version of the data volome.

It should be pretty easy to bring the ipa-server-install output
back to the systemd-based containers but I wanted to check with you,
FreeIPA admins and users, to see what you'd expect and what you
prefer. Do you have a preference, or suggestion for something
completely different?

Thank you,
