Usage of docker is a third-party contribution and not actively tested, used or supported by the main developer(s). Having said that, you can also use Docker to create a local dev environment. In this repository, create a Docker image: docker build -t hydrogen . Then start up a container from that image: docker run \ --name hydrogen-dev \ --publish 3000:3000 \ --volume "$PWD":/code \ --interactive \ --tty \ --rm \ hydrogen Then point your browser to `http://localhost:3000`. You can see the server logs in the terminal where you started the container. To stop the container, simply hit `ctrl+c`.
