just download and try it out...setup takes less then 20sec. If you don't like it, just delete the folder and forget it ;-)

Sure, but you spent so much effort and time making the beautiful landing page and documentation, you might as well have a demo. I can't be the only person too "lazy" to download, and run it.

thanks, I'll consider it!

FWIW I second this, it looks beautiful, but setting up a site on my VPS takes work; even if it's 20 seconds to download and install, I have to set up configs, DNS, directories, etc. Would love to see a demo.

I always assumed that every developer has a local dev environment, it seems I was wrong :)

By that you mean php dev environment? That would be more of a safe bet 10 years ago.

How about creating a docker container? http://docker.io This would actually add the benefit of easy evaluation, while also helping us to jumpstart a project with cockpit.

Yes. A demo would be really nice!

You should wrap it up in a docker container. All you need to do is create a Dockerfile in your repo and wire it up to http://hub.docker.com . That way the "try it out" steps are "docker run faulancer/cockpit-demo"

good idea, thanks!

Setting up a vagrant file would really make this an easy thing to install (perhaps a little longer than 20sec).

It won't work with vagrant, it strips out the port number when doing redirects (uses them a lot it appears) so you always end up with failed redirects.
