Running everything with docker 🤪

I build web apps. I've been building web apps for a while now. One of the frustrating (and time consuming) things about this work are the things that I find myself doing over and over again.

Let's take a look at how docker can help minimize the amount of effort any developer can leverage when setting up a new application, web or otherwise.

These days, I use docker to do pretty much everything related to php development. I'll be the first to admit: it takes some time to work through and understand all the confusing aspects of containerization. However, if you have the determination, the payoff is worth it. You will level up your development skills with this bit of tech in your toolbox.

As an added bonus, if you figure out how to run things locally, getting that same thing running in production will be that much simpler. Just push your image to hub.docker.com, then pull it in and run it on your production server. 👏🏻
