As a designer, when I jump into doing a UI review, or hacking on the templates / CSS of a new project, one of the most painful steps for

getting my dev environment set up.
Most of our webapps do have very good documentation on getting a dev environment set up, but invariably this takes a good chunk of time
and
fiddling for me (being someone that is not super-familiar with
setting up
and running the back-ends of webapps). This is especially relevant
if what
i am trying to fix is just a simple template change, and TBH manually tweaking postgres config files is not really my idea of a good time.
:)
Long story short, i am asking for comments and thoughts on how to
make
setting up a dev environment simpler and easier (and perhaps even standardized between all our apps).
I recently started playing with Vagrant, and made this vagrant
setup[1]
for bootstrapping a bodhi dev envirionment using Vagrant on top of vagrant-libvirt, and it works pretty well for me -- i can just use
one
command to spin up a new clean instance of a bodhi dev environment,
with
the DB configured and populated and ready to go. Note that i chose
libvirt
with Vagrant here, primarily because i am not well versed in Docker,
but
Docker on Vagrant is possible too.

I am all for vagrant or docker for my apps, I do think it would make things way easier for new contributors to get started.
I know I've been meaning to get faitout on docker so that one could run a local instance of faitout, but still haven't done it.
On the docker vs vagrant, I have no idea, I must confess I lack knowledge on both (played w/ docker once over a year ago, never with vagrant).
We can use Docker with vagrant too. But i don't know too much about Docker, so in my use of Vagrant, i pretty much have stuck with using libvirt with Vagrant to do what I need to do.
I have a few Vagrant setups working now too, and added a pagure repo with some instructions as well:
https://pagure.io/fedora-apps-vagrantfiles/tree/master
So far, I have ones for fedora-hubs, bodhi and a quick one for getting a modern_paste test instance up and running. I also should note that I am not a sysadmin, so i might be doing some of the steps in the provisioning a bit weird, so feel free to test these out and submit a PR or three ;)
cheers, ryanlerch
