FWIW I second this, it looks beautiful, but setting up a site on my VPS takes work; even if it's 20 seconds to download and install, I have to set up configs, DNS, directories, etc. Would love to see a demo.

I always assumed that every developer has a local dev environment, it seems I was wrong :)

By that you mean php dev environment? That would be more of a safe bet 10 years ago.

How about creating a docker container? http://docker.io This would actually add the benefit of easy evaluation, while also helping us to jumpstart a project with cockpit.

Yes. A demo would be really nice!
