I was able to play with the Panamax beta for the last couple of days, and it is an impressive system. The ease of use as well as the UI make it feel as if complex web applications can be installed as easily as local desktop apps on a Mac. I.e. due to the containerization and the use of setup scripts one can really easily install several interdependent dependencies in with one click. I installed a couple of open source systems just to see how it works, pretty awesome. I'm currently using Docker + Fig for all my Docker development and deployment needs. That's already a very simple solution, but it still requires finding different docker images, finding the necessary parameters in the documentation, and finally combining the images + the various parameters in a single fig.yml file. Panamax uses setup scripts which are very, very similar to those scripts that Orchard's Fig uses (which was just aquired by Docker). Only that it combines what I explained above in a single template that combines multiple images (Postgres + Nginx + PHP + Redis, for example) and lets you just run it with the click of a button. And, as it is with Docker installations, no local tainting of you main system with various databases (like postgres / redis); everything is installed in a container and runs in a container. Your main system stays clean. I like it.
