Coding :: Docker Containers to speed up your setup

Docker Containers

Data for good challenges bring people to work together for a short period of time. You don't want to have to completely change the setup on your machine to contribute to a project over a 2-4 weeks period.

Docker containers offer you a way to share a full setup between team members without having to change the usual setup on your machine.
