Docker

 Did you ever wonder how people got through all the possible

deployment hurdles to move a project form in-house to server ie

compatibility issues, different operating systems, version control even

differences between workers on the same project. I have long wondered 

how to attack all that. Turns out there is sofware for it: Docker. The 

underlying notion here is that of a container. Less ressource 

expensive than a true virtual environment, containers add a level between 

the app oe isworkingon and what eventually runs on the server.


How-this works is best understood from an example: the airlies code

still wthout flights. One creates the Docker container. One subsequently 

goesinto it to work onthe project, crating a superuser and adding flights.




Get containerized:
