CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

There is a Docker project at:

https://github.com/progressivetech/docker-civicrm-buildkit

I like this approach in that it uses the same build tools as the demo/test/dev systems. At the same time, different folks come into Docker with different goals; each of the following would lead to slightly different requirements for a Docker container:

• A developer tool that reproduces different permutations of Civi (v4.6+Drupal; v4.6+WP; v4.7+Drupal; etc)
• A self-sufficient, quick-start Civi app that you can download and turn on with a 2-3 commands
• A way to replicate staging and production environments of a highly customized site.
• A way to design a scalable cluster that includes Civi as one component

docker-civicrm-buildkit is strongest on the first use-case. It would be great if we could enhance/refactor that Docker project to meet the requirements of more use-cases, although it would also be quite reasonable for someone to publish a different container more focused on quick-start or for scaling.
