Docker

Well, I had to get something setup for development. I've played with a few types of visualization, and to me Docker seemed the obvious choice for "web app's" like WordPress. It was a little weird for me to get my head around the idea of containers, but once I did it clicked and I thought of the cool stuff I could do.

Day One

So I got docker installed fine and had a fresh install of WordPress going pretty quick. I used the official docker images of WordPress and MariaDB. Then I tried to install this blog, and for some reason I just couldn't get the order of the steps right. So after an hour or so of going in circles, I figured it was a success waiting to happen and moved to other topics for the day.

Day Two

It's working.

Yea, I'm not sure why I struggled so much. I ran MariaDB, and WordPress. Imported the database and copied the install and I was done. Its going to be a great way to do testing.
