We've found "paunch debug" useful in tracking down container issues that
we've reported to RH and then fixed, e.g. when diagnosing a too-low file
handle limit:

paunch debug --file /var/lib/tripleo-config/hashed-docker-container-startup-config-step_4.json --overrides '{ "ulimit": ["nofile=9999"] }' --container neutron_l3_agent --action run

Will there be a way to achieve this run-with-overrides functionality
without the CLI?

Thanks,
Dave
