Dockerized Bluemix Development Environment

Introduction

Rather than configuring your actual development environment for IBM Bluemix, it makes more sense to create a Dockerfile.

Within a launched container we have full access to Bluemix, and can even push anad manage other containers.

Usage

I launch a container using this script:

$ sudo docker build -t craig/bluemix .
$sudo docker run --privileged -t -i -p 4444 craig/bluemix
