54+Note: This method is currently considered experimental.

56+If you'd like to check a build plan, or perform an entire build, without
57+specially configuring your system, Docker may be a good approach. To check if
58+some modifications to `build-constraints.yaml` are valid, try the following:
59+
60+1. Create a local clone of the `stackage` repo
61+2. Make modifications to your local `build-constraints.yaml`
62+3. Inside the `stackage` working directory, run the following:
63+
64+ ```
65+ $ docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/stackage -w /stackage snoyberg/stackage /bin/bash -c 'cabal update && stackage check'
66+ ```

68+Similarly, if you'd like to perform an entire build, you can replace the last step with:
