Any extended discussion should go to the Perkify mailing list (http://perkify.groups.io).  That said, I'll 
try to give you a quick answer here.

The main drawback to Docker, for my purposes, is that the container has to use the host kernel.  So, a Linux 
container can't be run on a MacOS or Windows host; even running on a different Linux kernel than I used for 
the build might be problematic.  That said, Vagrant supports Docker and I'd be willing to try creating a 
Perkify container (or helping others to do so) if there were sufficient interest.
