any plans for a docker version?
I wonder if there are any plans to either make available a docker version of this app (marklogic-samplestack), or at least of marklogic current rel?
That's something I'd like to get onto http://developer.marklogic.com, but I haven't established a timeline for that yet.
Dave,
I think Docker is a good fit for the 3 layers in samplestack. Please see my notes here as well (https://wiki.marklogic.com/display/ENGINEERING/AWS+ReInvent+2014). I am also thinking about how to leverage it for QA efforts.

I don't know much about Docker. From the development/continuous integration perspective, it would be great if what work that was done on AWS could include the availability of MarkLogic nightly builds on at a known port that would be password-protected, but otherwise available for CI testing. Would that fit into the efforts on Docker or be a separate animal? Just asking! :)
I think that would be something separate. The goal of providing a Docker setup is for someone who is new to MarkLogic and/or Samplestack a trivially simple way to get it up and running, without having to worry about prerequisite installs. (Caveat: I'm also new to Docker.)
A worthy goal, indeed! That would be great. I may have been confused by references to QA and AWS.
That would be a separate animal. But, we can see if docker will help with that.
At present, I consider docker to be more of a developer tool – one that enables developing and deploying (for testing) in a well-known contained environment. With samplestack and its moving parts (in terms of number of 3rd party library dependencies), it would be good to make a container available with exactly the pre-reqs and samplestack code. Same with Java mid-tier. And this would help us simulate the 3 tier environment as well.

Great discussion, I'll track with @dmcassel and @rlouapre and report back as we have progress on this effort.
Dockerfile is available here: https://github.com/rlouapre/docker-ml8-java-samplestack See README for instructions to setup the image.
