Docker for development is even better than for production.

If you would be willing to show me the path, I'll be more than happy to look into it / go that route (but honestly how do you develop in a docker container or is that part mounted -v )

You basically mount a directory with the source code as a docker volume, so the application is executed inside a container but you can modify files locally on your machine. I can elaborate more in Discord or Slack if you want.

Would love to simplify this: hit me up in discord sometime, anytime :)
