Docker Book, The
2024-10-14
The first ~40% is what I wanted, an introduction to Docker and its basic uses. The last ~60% of the book is more advanced, containing information about swarm, compose, clustering, building more complex multi-container applications, the API, and development. Overall I think docker (having barely used it) is a reasonable tool, but the fracturing of (too) many applications into "micro-services" I think leads to overall fragility within software development. In my case I am simply interesting in running docker on a small (NUC-like) server that can provide me with a simpler way to get up and running with SeaFile and maybe an internal website. For what I want, the first half of the book provided me with an understanding that allowed me to do everything I wanted to do.
