I had the same trouble setting up discourse, so I setup a template on Nitrous using Docker that you can definitely use to get Discourse up and running in 30 seconds. (I just confirmed, I went from no environment to running discourse in less than 30 seconds). Just `cd code/discourse && ./start-app`.

This, IMO is where Docker shines. It shouldn't matter if it's setup with a microservice 12-factor architecture or if everything is setup in a monolithic VM-like container. I don't have the patience for ops -- I just want something that works. That's the point of having isolated, replicable containers.

In any case, I encourage you to try out the discourse container on Nitrous. I was actually surprised it happens to be the least popular container for us. I assumed because it's such a pain in the ass to get started, that it would be more popular =p
