Running Craft with Docker (or something similar)

Question

Has anyone had success with setting up Craft using Docker?

I've stumbled across some Dockerfiles for WordPress and other CMS's but couldn't find much in the way of Craft. I'll be exploring this a bit myself over the next week, but was hoping some people in the community may have a few good pointers or tips or even cautions.

To elaborate, I'm looking for alternatives to MAMP as well, or other development environment tools for working with Craft.

Looks like the craft team has a docker setup on their GitHub now. Lots to dig through with many options (PHP-FPM, nginx, mysql, etc).

You might want to check out this tutorial on using vagrant with craft. You could use this as an alternative to MAMP.

I've been using Laravel Homestead for local dev (and Forge controlled VPS' for staging). Both have been hugely successful for me – I've not touched MAMP for months.

Craft works off-the-shelf with both.

For anyone who is interested - I did a quick mashup of the Craft and Laravel Homestead documentation to outline the process I went through for setting up my first Craft site locally on a Vagrant/Homestead box.

Thanks to the guys over at Straight Up Craft for the video about Vagrant and Craft which introduced me to Homestead﻿

Yes I have. I even wrote an article that describes the application I created to automate the install process less than two minutes.
