System permissions First step is to gain access to the serial, if you don’t already have permissions: WSJT-X & JS8Call Radio & Audio Settings Here are the Radio and Audio settings that worked for […]

So far in this series we’ve covered: These are all the fundamental building blocks to start creating your own setups and containerising applications. In this part, we’ll put everything together to create a WordPress dev environment that you can run locally. We’ll also cover how to set environment variables. This is a fairly large post […]

There’s one last concept we need to understand to have enough of the fundamentals to be dangerous. And that would be volumes. Persisting data Containers are temporary things. When stopping a container will stick around. However, when the container is removed, all modifications will be lost. To see this in action lets spin up an […]

When we’re running these images as containers, there’s double the effort of having to start each one individually. The React app depends on the PHP API. If you’ve got the two PHP API and React containers […]

Now that we’ve got a simple PHP API running, lets look at how we can consume that. For this, we’re going to create a small react app using RSBuild There’s no particular reason for RSBuild over anything else other than I wanted to try it out! React App Check out the code on this repo: […]
