In the previous episode, I’ve moved a WordPress Blog from the simple installation of part 1 to the more sophisticated reverse proxy setup I have put together in part 3 to demonstrate that containers are ‘portable’ between different servers with little effort. Moving the container also showed that the nginx-gen container recognizes when new containers … Continue reading Dockerize Me – Containers Managing Containers – Part 5
In part 3 of this series we’ve created a reverse proxy setup with Docker containers in the public cloud to serve the content of several web services from independent docker containers with individual domain names. In this episode I’ll test the concept that containerized applications can easily be moved from one host to another.
After the basic installation of Docker and getting a WordPress blog up and running in Docker containers in part 1, this part of my Docker series will take a look at how to add two important features to the setup: TLS certificates and LetsEncrypt with auto-renewal How to host several websites on one server that … Continue reading Dockerize Me – Several Services and LetsEncrypt – Part 3
In part one of my ‘Dockerize Me’ story, I’ve been describing the reasons why I want to learn more about Docker and gave some first tips and tricks how to quickly install it with a few commands on a Debian based server. A first docker-compose project then demonstrated how to quickly spin-up a WordPress container … Continue reading Dockerize Me – Cheat Sheet and Pyramid of Trust – Part 2
Over the years I’ve been looking at Docker every now and then. That’s because for one thing I am interested in the concept of deploying software in lightweight containers instead of VMs and also because I am running two pieces of software in Docker containers on my servers as well. But that was it until … Continue reading Dockerize Me – My Personal Docker Bootstrap Voyage – Part 1
In part 3 of my Dockerize-Me series I’ve been looking at how to run several web services on the same server, make them accessible on the same ports (80 for http and 443 for https) and add Letsencrypt TLS certificates for secure communication. This is typically done with a reverse http proxy setup as described … Continue reading Dockerize-Me: Traefik as Reverse-Proxy – Part 6
As I hinted in my 37c3 post, I was using a bit of time at ‘Congress’ to improve the structure of my containers in the cloud. While I have quite a number of projects running in dedicated virtual machines, I have containerized others such as this blog, my MediaWiki, an OnlyOffice instance, Etherpads and a … Continue reading Container Games – Private Networks for Private Containers
In the previous post on this topic, I’ve had a look back at which Wiki’s I’ve used over the decades to store my personal tech information and why I decided to move on to MediaWiki as a platform. In the past, getting a new web service up and running required the setup of a web … Continue reading Moving on to MediaWiki – Part 2 – Docker Install
One tool that has become absolutely essential to me for note taking and finding information again is a Wiki. A very long time ago, I initially used WOAS, a personal Wiki platform that was basically a local HTML file that could be modified in the browser. It was a nice system, but at some point, … Continue reading Moving on to MediaWiki – Part 1
It’s the time of the year again to have a look back at the things that moved me this year. On the surface, it seems that I had relatively few posts about wireless network technologies. But this appearance is quite deceptive.
