@vbsteven What flavor of container are you planning to use for dev environments?—@ndw
@ndw I was thinking of using Docker. I know that works well for postgres/redis/rails which is (aside from Android) what I need most—@vbsteven
@vbsteven Right. That's what I've started using for dev environments on my Linux box. Gather it's a bit different on OSX.—@ndw
@ndw it works pretty similar because for OS X it uses a Linux vm for hosting the containers—@vbsteven
