We'd like to try any approach that make new user can do as less as possible to start the FirefoxOS development

get start https://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/

dockerfile https://www.docker.io/learn/dockerfile/

I've successfully built the emulator on a experimental docker container. Don't know why, but docker provide more stable network performance while it do the repo sync.

However, I can't provide the image right now. It's unfortunately large (~20GB). So we need to see if we can provide both a bare docker image with build essentials, and a container with repo already synced in a reasonable size.

Thanks for your experiment, at this stage(not stabled yet), a bare docker image with build essentials is sufficient :+1:
