     6    Because the "docker-external" type expects the Docker images to exist
     7    and be built externally, the development environment is only meant as a way
     8    to test that starting the container works properly for downstream applications
     9    that may depend on this application.

    14  Because the "docker-external" type expects the Docker images to exist
    15  and be built externally, the development environment is only meant as a way
    16  to test that starting the container works properly for downstream applications
    17  that may depend on this application.
    18  
    19  The primary purpose of this application type is to make it incredibly
    20  easy to depend and deploy anything in the Docker ecosystem with Otto,
    21  it isn't meant as a Docker image development environment. We have future
    22  plans for this, but it isn't currently available.
    23  
    24  When you run `otto dev`, you'll get an environment with the container
    25  running as configured in the Appfile. The use case for this is to just verify
    26  that it works for downstream applications using this Docker image as
    27  a [dependency](/docs/concepts/deps.html).
