4 days agoVery quickly i could see how useful it would be to a more skilled developer, to have my code capable of running on any machine because everything is neatly packaged together.
What i thought i could use was something that would be deployable incase i have to frequently rebuild my server, but i remembered to write down all the stuff i copy into the terminal. I would still like something portable to back up with ease when i have to move machines
I’ll need to make a test environment eventually to practice deploying Docker containers, but it’s sounding like that’s the right idea. something got into my head that docker sort of worked almost like a virtual machine, but it’s possible it was explained that way for someone who has a higher level of knowledge over what these apps actually do, when it’s like building a kit bundle for frequently installed apps, but also now i’m thinking in my head if there were something that could package everything down to the OS so i only have to install ONE thing to have a ready to go machine for my exact purposes. Which probably exists, and has a name, but fuck if i know what they’re called.
