Just ad heads-up:
There is a continuation of this discussion in another thread.
If you still think merging the effort into forklift is the solution then let’s look into this again.
For what I understand the idea of forklift is based on VMs and Vagrant (aka “heavy-weight”). Foreman-docker-compose is an alternative approach using Docker. It would complement the offering of getting started quickly, which is nice. For both approaches it’s necessary that they stay aligned with the original code base (and documentation).
