Running WordPress inside multiple Docker containers

Nice! heres the link to the dockerfiles source from the article: https://github.com/komljen/docker

as a side ( unrelated :), could someone tell me why docker chose ubuntu as the main supported platform? I was under the impression it wasnt being put to as much use in the server market as say - RHEL, CentOS or Debian.

Docker depends on a bunch of kernel features that are not available in RHEL/CentOS/SL. I think specifically it's the filesystem stuff. As to Debian, I think even that lags behind Ubuntu enough that it is not possible.

Edit: Was easy enough to google: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/kernel/

  In short, Docker has the following kernel requirements:

  Linux version 3.8 or above.
  AUFS support.
  Cgroups and namespaces must be enabled.

Last Monday I tried following this blog: http://nareshv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/installing-dockerio-on...

Long story short I think the hop5 repo was giving me trouble and wouldn't connect. I've blocked most of it out it involved many hours or frustration. Not all attributable to docker, their IRC was really helpful. YMMV
