Note that i chose libvirt with Vagrant here, primarily because i am not well versed in Docker, but Docker on Vagrant is possible too.

Nod nod,
I agree with Ryan that we could probably have an easier way to set up local instances of our apps, this would help not only designers or websites folks but also new contributors.
On the other hand it is rather difficult to make a unified way to launch all apps the same way, because they are sometimes very different. Recently we have only Flask based apps, so that could help, but the thought about vagrant or docker solutions is really nice.
I'll try your bodhi development environment, maybe this is a good start. Thanks for sharing.

Robert
