(#27007578)
I want to simulate my production environment as much as I can. My production env looks like:
- Ubuntu machine + nginx installed on it (no container) + 1 Docker container with my app
- Ubuntu machine + mysql installed on it (no container)
So, sure I could run on top of my development laptop 3 Docker containers: nginx, my app, and mysql... but this is not exactly what I have on production. Whereas with Vagrant and can easily bootstrap 2 VMs (2 Ubuntus) and within them run the containers above mentioned, plus nginx and mysql installed "raw".
