A docker image is VERY appealing. There are things that don't work and/or are hard to do on Mac (for example, setting up Apache httpd with LDAP enabled as brew no longer supports that). And there would be the added benefit of having the development environment more closely match the deployment environment. Two issues: 1) We would need to work through how to get your users git and subversion credentials onto the container. This is solvable. 2) Mounted file systems are fast only on Linux. On Mac and Windows, they are dog slow. This likely means that the way to go is have the /srv directory in a container. Faster, but less convenient. At the moment, a full /srv directory is 29G. Perhaps the container could run something like nfs enabling the host to mount it? - Sam Ruby
