Notes on Docker
I've never really followed the hype around Docker but to be honest also never really taken the time to look into it more. That's until my friend Harald told me that he is using it on his Raspberry Pi to run some services. What sounded appealing is that you can reproduce builds, you are not "polluting" the host system, you can keep all configs etc. in one place, and move your services somewhere else quickly. The latter is especially interesting when you want to reinstall the host system. Furthermore, you can put the build as well as configuration in version control. Of course, you are adding another layer of complexity in the mix. I thought I'd give it a try. Here are some notes pertinent to the setup with my Raspberry Pi.
