Why isn't this talked about more? Bias against Canonical?

  From having tried a few times on a mac, it's really hard to get started. The local provider is LXC-based so can only run on linux. I'd love it if it ran on docker or virtualbox.

    I didn't know juju existed until now, but I've been working on something kind of similar which is a lot less hassle to get up and running (vagrant up, done) although I'm just one guy who doesn't have a hell of a lot of free time so it will be intended purely for creating local dev environments at least initially (and will come with a "do not run production services on this or you will die" style warning) It takes some steps towards resolving some of the issues in the article as well as a number of other headaches I've encountered when trying to bend docker to my will and build a development environment I can use every day for everything without having to mess around with basic plumbing. I can post a show HN about it in the days ahead if there's any interest - it's not anywhere near where I want it to be (least of all in terms of code quality) but the amount of time I can devote to coding is about to drop from "near zero" to "really REALLY near zero" for a while, and it's very usable and handy so it might be worth just tossing it out there as-is and coming back to it at a later date.
