I showed a friend of mine a project I made in two days in Docker and Symfony php. It is a rather simple app, but it did involve my usual setup: Nginx with gzip/cache/security headers/ssl + redis caching db + php-fpm for symfony. I also used php7.4 for the lolz
He complained that he didn't like using Docker and would rather install dependencies with composer install and then run it with a Laravel command. He insisted that he wanted a non-docker installation manual.
I advised him to first install Nginx and generate some self-signed certificates, then copy all the config files and replace any environment-injected values (I use a self-made shell script for this) with the environment values in the docker-compose files.
Then I told him to download php-fpm with php 7.4 alpha, install and configure all the extensions needed, download and set up a local Redis database and at last re-implement a .env file since I removed those to replace them with a container environment.
He sent an angry emoji back (in a funny way)
God bless containerized applications, so easy to spin up entire applications (either custom or vendor like redis/mysql) and throw them away after having played with them. No need to clutter up your own pc with runtime environments.
I wonder if he relents :p9 -
After the fun I had with the XEN Orchestrator UI ( https://devrant.com/rants/2554182/ ) I build an exporter that normalizes XEN / Proxmox API output and writes it into a nice spreadsheet.
Took PHP 7.4 for a spin. Sweet jesus, lot of nice stuff.
Been nearly a year since I did something larger than small scripts in PHP, but felt really at home again.
The type hinting and arrow functions made writing the exporter a breeze.
DTOs with typed properties spared me quite a bit of headache when normalizing the different APIs...
Utilizing *sort with fn arrow function is a pretty nice and concise one liner with the spaceship operator.
And I have now a nice spreadsheet...
Thanks at the PHP folks.1 -
So I ran a yarn build for a vuejs project in a php7.4 docker container on a raspberry pi 3.
Wasn't as fun as I thought it to be.6
