 ### Prepare your orchestration data
 * Get a CoreOS server, for instance from [RackSpace](rackspace.com), [Vultr](vultr.com), or [Hetzner](http://serverboerse.de/).
-* We aim to also support Ubuntu 14.10, but this is currently blocked by issue [#44](https://github.com/indiehosters/indiehosters/issues/44)
+* If you prefer another operating system, you can also run our Docker images [using just Docker and bash](using-just-docker-and-bash.md).
 * If you didn't add your public ssh key during the order process (e.g. through your IaaS control panel or a cloud-config file),
   scp your laptop's public ssh key (probably in `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`) to `.ssh/authorized_keys` for the remote user
   you will be ssh-ing and scp-ing as (the default remote user of our deploy scripts is 'core').

+# Using just Docker and bash
+
+## WARNING: Still a work-in-process
+
+Given that CoreOS is not available everywhere, and the Ubuntu 14.10 setup with etcdctl inside a Docker instance still has some problems,
+I'll try if I can run all our services (postfix-forwarder, haproxy, and the various web backend containers) on an off-the-shelf Ubuntu 14.04 server. Here's what I did to prepare the server:
+
+````bash
+apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get -y dist-upgrade
+apt-get -y install unattended-upgrades
+dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
+# set unattended upgrades to 'Yes'
+apt-get -y install docker.io
+ssh-keygen -t rsa
+````
+
+Then I added the .ssh/id_rsa.pub to .ssh/authorized_keys at both backup server accounts, and ran:
+
+````
+mkdir -p /data
+cd /data
+git clone git@bu25:postfix
+git clone git@bu25:haproxy
+docker run -d -v /data/haproxy:/etc/haproxy -p 80:80 -p 443:443 indiehosters/haproxy
+docker run -d --name postfix-forwarder -v /data/postfix:/data -p 25:25 indiehosters/postfix-forwarder 
+````
+
+And then for each domain I host:
+
+````
+cd /data
+git clone git@bu25:michielbdejong.com
+docker run -d --name michielbdejong.com -v /data/michielbdejong.com:/data indiehosters/lamp-git
+````
+
+Now the only thing you need to do is to get each backend IP address from `docker inspect michielbdejong.com` and edit `/data/runtime/haproxy/haproxy.cfg` with the correct IP address.
