Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux.

Castle Mock absolutely loves Docker. Docker allows you to simply setup and deploy your own instance of Castle Mock, by just typing one line. Download and install Docker by visiting their web page: http://docker.com
