Docker. See: https://github.com/vpicavet/docker-pggis for a quick and easy Docker running PostGIS. Understand, this isn’t production ready (the connection permissions make my teeth hurt a little) but, so nice to have a one stop shop for postgis, pgrouting, and pointcloud. Now I may have to write blog posts on pointcloud. Point cloud didn’t get in the PostGIS Cookbook because it was too hard to build. I built it. I played with its wonders. Then I decided it was too much too early. Well, not any more… .
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
CREATE EXTENSION pgrouting;
CREATE EXTENSION pointcloud;
CREATE EXTENSION pointcloud_postgis;
Oh, one more thing: pro-tip. You can modify the Docker file into a shell script for installing all this goodness on your local Ubuntu/Debian machine as well:

I may be biased but I still think Openshift is easier and it is production ready 😉
You are biased :), but it’s a fair point that prebuilt services are easier and faster. Now, a question in return– does Openshift have PointCloud, PDAL, and SFCGAL?
If those are other extensions then the answer is no and it looks like you just earned building us a new cartridge 😉
What does that entail (link)
Here is some doc on stock postgresql 9.2 http://openshift.github.io/documentation/oo_cartridge_guide.html#postgresql
You can fork that cart repo to add the binaries and stuff
And here is how to write a cart:

Do you still use this in your dev environment?
