Using Docker & Digital ocean to setup a development environment (Cloud IDE).

Posted on May 7, 2014

I currently develop on OSX and a Chromebook with Ubuntu 14.04 installed. I’m currently using a Cloud IDE (Codio) so that my development environment stays the same on both machines but I feel like I could replicate that using Digital Ocean and Docker.

Essentially, I want to create a couple of base development environments (Rails/Postgres and Node/Express/Angular/Mongo being the two big ones). Every time I start a new project I want to be able to start in a “fresh” environment. Of course, I want all of this to exist on one Digital Ocean droplet.

Is it possible? If so, how would I go about doing it.
