Docker Night

So we had a Docker night to get back to the topic of containerization. I have wanted to get back to containers as a working topic for a while, but had no good example to work with. Building demo environments are great for covering the basics, but it never gets beyond “Look what we can do” to a practical usage case for the group. During my search for a useful project, I found a small tutorial on getting an environment up and running using a Docker container, Docker, Hugo, and Asciidoctor to create a website with Asciidoc based posts.

Recent happenings

There have been a dearth of posts on here for way too many reasons: Renovations No free time Forget how to get the build environment running The list goes on… The entire list is rather long and boring really, and should not have been allowed to affect the site information. I’ll try doing better with it. Meanwhile, back in ovSAGE land… We have been having meetings every month, despite the lack of posts.

Miracles Happen

UPDATE: Not so fast… We did have the room, but we were cautioned that the hvac is not working, so in a fit of sanity, we will go to Tim’s again. Now that I actually posted that the meeting would be at the local donut shop, I get an email yesterday informing me that we have the room for tomorrow night. The universe is out to prove me wrong :)

Still Waiting

Once again, we will not have our normal meeting place. Dymon is still putting the final touches on the boardrooms and we will probably be in a donut shop for the March meeting. On the plus side, I won’t run out of things to drink, but I am getting a little tired of the lack of ability to have a proper talk. I don’t mind the fact that they are not finished yet, but rather the “soon” I keep hearing.

Back to normal

It seems that my toolchain has survived a couple of weeks without getting broken, so I’m about as close to good as it will get at this time. Things still look good even though there is at least one broken link in the posts. I thought I had gone through them all, but it is difficult to police your own work at times. No new commentary that I have noticed, so I can guess we get as much readership as always.
