I installed docker on my laptop. I get as far as logging into the docker with “vagrant ssh” and then I execute
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/vagrant$ ./launcher start

That was over night. Does this take days?

I used the stand alone yml in which I set SMTP to my gmail account and discourse hostname to localhost.
I can log into the virtual box running image and confirm it is still running.
I followed this install guide except I installed to docker on my laptop instead of on Digital Ocean. Internet is too patchy where I live to develop online. I’d be offline for a day some times.
Just being curious, why are you installing Discourse with Docker on your machine? If you just want to fiddle with 
locally, it’s much easier to do the developer install.

When I tried “Discourse as your rails app” I got stuck. I couldn’t find standalone.yml file or the containers directory. I thought that the developer install had been abandoned.
You don’t need docker for the developer install. Just vagrant if you’re running Windows (or want to run your dev env in a VM). Alternatively you can follow any of the advanced setups.
I will take a look again. I am using linux (Fedora 23).
