I'm trying this out now.

One question: when I ran "flyctl deploy" it said "Docker daemon available, performing local build..."

If I turn off my local Docker, would it instead just upload the Dockerfile somewhere and perform the build for me?

If so, is there a way to force it to do that? I'd much rather upload a few hundred bytes of Dockerfile than build and push 100s of MBs of compiled image from my laptop.

That's exactly what happens when you disable Docker. We default to local builds because it's a little more secure. It's usually faster (our remote builder isn't great at caching layers yet).

It would make sense to be able to force that. Right now you'd have to stop Docker.

(Also I'm a huge fan of Django)

good suggestion, I made an issue :) https://github.com/superfly/flyctl/issues/80

... and they just shipped it as a feature! Impressive turnaround.
