As you know, this blog is powered by Docusaurus.
I'm writing blog posts in Markdown files (one post = one .md file) and Docusaurus will convert them into HTML pages.
In this first article, we're going to learn how to install Docusaurus... ouch, sorry, not install Docusaurus as we're going to use Docker to simplify our lives.
LimeSurvey is an open-source survey tool that allows users to create and conduct surveys online. It is a powerful and intuitive tool that can be used by everyone.
Once again, it's easy to play with it and create a sandbox site to take a look on all his features; thanks to Docker.
To do this, we'll use the https://github.com/martialblog/docker-limesurvey Docker image.
Last year I had a large application developed in Laravel that required a MySQL database. When I was migrating to PostgreSQL I discovered PostgREST, which allowed me to completely remove queries from my code.
Don't get me wrong: my Laravel/PHP code was launching dozens of queries to the database and, after migration, none at all.
My tables, my models, my SQL queries, I was able to remove everything from my code. My PHP code has been greatly lightened and simplified.
And yes, nothing less. We're going to install a Microsoft SQL Server 2022 on our machine, install SQL Server Management Studio too and we'll have fun with a small PowerShell script; all with Docker, of course.
When you're working with Linux (also working with WSL thus), there are many ways to personalize your prompt. One of the simplest solutions is to use Powerlevel10k and its wizard.
In this article we're going to use a Docker container just to : test and discard. The Docker container will only be used to install Powerlevel10k, configure it and play with it. After that, it's up to you to see whether you like the interface and, if you do, to redo the installation on your machine rather than in Docker.
The tip comes from here
Do you think it's possible to run a new WordPress site in just three commands? Impossible, isn't it. Well, in fact, yes, it's possible.
Let's take a look...
You've a dockerized application and one of its container is a MariaDB, MySQL or PostgreSQL service.
Your need is to start a web database management interface like Adminer, pgadmin or phpmyadmin and be able to access your tables and your records.
This can be done in just one command line instruction.
The docker inspect command is used to retrieve detailed information about various Docker objects, including images, containers, volumes, networks, and nodes. It provides a comprehensive overview of the object's configuration, state, and other relevant details.
The returned information is a JSON representation of the object.
One use case is to be able to retrieve the name of the network used by a given container.
You've a PHP codebase and you wish hop, hop, two strokes of the teaspoon, generate a documentation site without any headaches.
Simple! phpDocumentor do it for you and since a Docker image exists; you can do this almost by running just one command.
In this article, we will learn how to use Docker to install Joomla on your localhost and start a new website in seconds (don't want to wait? Jump to the "Final docker-compose.yml" chapter).
I will use a Linux console (I'm running WSL on my Windows computer and I have chosen Ubuntu for my distribution) but since Docker can also be used on Windows, you can perfectly run, exactly, the same commands in an MS-DOS / Powershell console.
