Hey, I too don't want to use Docker, but I find no alternative.
I use docker-compose to get these running: memcache, MySQL, NGINX and postfix
I tried other things:
- Ansible: very slow and requires lot of config files
- Bash scripts: requires lot of build steps in a language I don't really like
- Fabric: good as the scripts are more pythonic, but still requires manual installation of all services
The good thing about Docker is its caching mechanism. It builds the containers only if there are any changes. What are other (containerless) solutions for that?
