##### Can I use multiple containers?
We are planning, and committed, to adding support for having multiple apps/containers running on a device. While the work towards multiple apps is in progress, as an interim solution, we do however have a few users running [multiple containers within an app via docker-compose](https://resin.io/blog/multi-container-with-docker-compose-on-resin-io/) and [have done work with kubernetes](https://resin.io/blog/our-first-experiments-with-multi-container-apps/) in the same fashion.

##### How do I push a new git repo to an Application?

capitalization of "application" maybe better lowercase??

If you have pushed a repository called `project-A` to your application (called `myapp`) and at a later stage you would like to push a new project called `project-B`, you can do this by adding the application remote (`git remote add resin joesoap@git.resin.io:joesoap/myapp.git`) to `project-B`'s local repository. You can then easily push `project-B` to `myapp` by just doing `git push resin master -f`. The extra `-f` on the command forces the push and resets the git history on the git remote on resin.io's backend. You should now have `project-B` running on all the devices in the `myapp` fleet.

Would add a line that after this one should normally not use -f anymore and do the regular pushes.

As above, and maybe link for "more details on "force push" at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#git-push--f


##### What version of Docker runs on the devices?
Currently we're running v1.10.3, but continuously updating it as the versions are tested and verified on resin.io. Keep an eye on the [Announcements in the forums](https://talk.resin.io/c/resinio/announcements-releases) for updates.
