Hi, thanks for the question! Of course you can do that. Our offer is for people who want to get started fast without losing focus. Maintaining a database is a standard task that you could do yourself. But getting it right might consume some time, you probably want to invest in your application. You need to consider backups, possibly a failover solution, monitoring and a scaling strategy. If maintaining a database is the core of your business, go ahead. If you want to get started fast, maybe you give nukapi a shot.

hi, I created dind-machine, a simple wrapper for docker-machine, since I love docker-machine's simplicity but also experienced some drawbacks. It's a pain sharing your docker-machine setup with others! The configuration files works only on a specific machine due to the usage of absolute paths. So just sharing the docker-machine folder ~/.docker does not do the trick. You still need to adapt your configuration to the new environment. dind-machine simply moves docker-machine into docker and uses a docker volume for persistence. So you get both: absolute paths inside the container (/root/.docker) and any path you wish on the host. Another nice property of this solution: you do not need install docker-machine locally, you just pull the nukapi/dind-machine docker image. What do you think about this?

Do you have any experience with openshift? It seems the OpenShift Origin functionality is very mature, but I do not have any experience. Have you ever made a comparison?
