You should look into the [docker Update Module](https://hub.mender.io/t/docker/324). With it you can run Docker containers and update them using Mender Artifacts. If you need to customize anything about the container launching you can use [state scripts](https://docs.mender.io/development/artifact-creation/state-scripts) on top of that.
