This prevents the Docker daemon from configuring iptables. sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/docker.service Append --iptables=false to ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd://.

This blog post addresses a common scenario — a local LAMP development environment on your Windows or OS X computer. You could use XAMPP on either Windows or OS X, MAMP on OS X or native Apache in OS X.

We will also create virtual hosts, install and configure WordPress and Xdebug.

OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux Mint 13 Maya For Drupal development, since I already have a Linux Mint system setup, I decide to focus on it rather than the Windows 8 Acquia Drupal setup I blogged about a few days ago. Apache, MySQL & PHP Install all of these applications with a single command. Thanks to Unix System Engineer, Nitin Sookun for posting this on the Linux Mint Community website.
