Have you considered replace the name with input from stdin? So instead of name=synapse you could do name=$1 and have one script to use for all containers.
yeah but I don’t mind having duplicated scripts, it’s just easier to go to single script and don’t have to worry about everything else, I keep them like bin/synapse/run, bin/synapse/stop, bin/synapse/logs etc. What I haven’t figured out is better way to keep all ports in one place instead of ports.md file but on the other hand it’s not like I have thousands of containers running.

I feel you. I have ~20 container files (some are multiple containers in one file, e.g. db and web server) and I seldom have to do changes to them. Once properly configured, I don’t really have to do anything.
