Isn't it just as much about deployment though? The thing about docker is that deploying your new app basically means stopping your running instance and starting a new one. You actually don't even NEED to stop the current running one if you have something above it that just knows which instances / ports to route traffic to.

I think docker is about ease of deployment. You still use the same server you just run a different command. As opposed to creating a new image and spinning up said image.

You can imagine roll back / migration is pretty easy in this case.

I personally would say "It's just you."

Docker has been huge for us. We can run the same containers locally that we run in production. Dockerfiles are SIMPLE and easy for people to create and understand.

Fig has really made using docker for local dev rather pleasant.

Are there some hiccups here and there? Yes. The project is young and they are actively trying to smooth over a lot of issues and pain points.

I feel like most people who dislike docker have not actually tried it or used it. That could just be a wrong opinion though.

We use consul. Each instance has it's own bind setup with DNS forwarding and it forwards normal traffic on through the regular DNS servers and anything in .consul on to the consul client running locally.

I recently moved from Long Island to Boston. Would love to get coffee with you sometime when I am down there visiting family. I moved as the commute from LI to NYC was brutal and I felt there were better job opportunities in Boston. I'd love to pick your brain sometime about the status of the island and NYC.

I used to work for the company that started this initiative. It's all just marketing fluff. A friend of mine who was there during the entirety of this initiative said that out of the 30 ish people who were forced to do this only 1 took it seriously. He also felt it was a severe waste of the engineers time.

Gave this thing a whirl. The terminal sharing is nice, however the person I paired with had a real hard time seeing any of the commands I was typing. The PS1 modification flootty makes pushes almost everything right out of their window and they claimed they were unable to scroll vertically

Fedora is certainly more bleeding-edge. Ruby 1.8 end of life is June 2013 however. It is unfortunate that most distros still ship with 1.8.7 as the default.

geekbri | 14 years ago | on: DNSCrypt release for Linux

This is what I was wondering as well. Is there a way to deploy DNSCrypt into our own servers (Bind9, tinydns, MS DNS, etc). Any information would be welcomed if somebody knows.
