This is certainly a good idea to have Docker build instructions as an option, but would not be good as the only or primary option. There are lots of situations where installing the whole docket setup on a host is either hard or an overkill for just building PHP. But as an option it's good. > I took this route a while ago when I needed to setup a dev environment > and it works nicely. I could do a write-up of this route if desired.
