Vagrant with Docker: How to set up Postgres, Elasticsearch and Redis on Mac OS X

Have you looked into Fig? (http://orchardup.github.io/fig/)

I use it to accomplish something very similar, standardized dev environments on OS X through docker containers.

Edit: I should probably add that my dev environment also relies on containers running both Postgres and Redis.

If you have the time, could you please review our docker + fig instructions? These instructions are for Quill.org, a web app that provides free writing activities to middle school and high school students.

https://github.com/empirical-org/Documentation/blob/master/G...

We are a non-profit, open source community, and we recently set up our dev environment in Docker to encourage OSS contributions. We may be missing a few crucial pieces of instruction for developers unfamiliar with Docker, such as killing docker images once a developer is finished working on a project.

Hey, so what is the difference between my setup and figs? I assume it is just that all the port forwarding and folder stuff from the virtual machine is made easier?

That's pretty much it. Just two different approaches to the same thing. I use docker-osx (https://github.com/noplay/docker-osx) instead of boot2loader. Didn't run into any weird virtualization issues with it.

The format for the fig.yml file is even very similar to that of your VagrantFile (https://gist.github.com/ChrisChares/66916dd6dc0d5828520a)
