AWS CloudFormation: access to host Docker installation

If you launch it on AWS EC2 with the provided cloudformation.json template, you can use your host Docker client and server. Just append -v $(which docker):$(which docker) -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock to the argument list of docker run, like this:

$ docker run -ti --name workstation -p 3389:3389 -p 1022:22 -e PASSWORD=******** -v $(which docker):$(which docker) -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock sflyr/workstation

Build

rake does not build the image up, it downloads it from Docker Hub instead. Should you need to build the image and publish it, just use the Dockerfile provided:

$ cd <project dir>
$ docker build -t sflyr/workstation .
$ docker push sflyr/workstation
