Docker Boxes

I’m not super well acquainted with docker, coming from the pre 2000 world of the internet: but I’m learning.

Containerized Deployments?

Way Back When

In the old days of the computers, as programs (or apps) grew in complexity, dependencies and subsystems required configuration to create an appropriate environment for the programs to run.

And Now

Nowadays some people ship programs with the environment built in. This makes it much easier in general to get new programs installed and operating quickly.

Tools

One of the tools I’ve been using to learn is RunTipi, which is very simple and easy to install and use. It’s designed for self hosters to run behind a firewall with port forwarding but can also be run with SSL certs on the public net.

Runtipi has over 200 apps in its repository and most install with the click of a button.
