Docker Swarm VS libcurl

Docker - A containerization platform that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into containers. Docker Compose can be used to define multi-container application stacks, including web servers, databases, and other services. Features powerful portability and consistency, supports rapid building, sharing, and container management, suitable for complex application architectures, and requires a learning curve.

This article wanted to be a brief and gentle introduction to the container and docker world, there is a lot more to learn so don’t hesitate to check the docker documentation.

It appears they have since reverted the decision but it used to require logging in:

Docker Documentation

Docker is a tool that can help the developer to run each dependency in containers. Find more about Docker at Docker Official.

According to Docker Docs, a Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the instructions a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. These instructions include actions like installing software, copying files, setting environment variables, and defining how an application should run.

Hello reader, it's Sourab here. Recently in one of my projects I used Docker and Nginx for deploying a React App to a front-end server. Let's see how I did it.

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Made a PR to curl in line with the above: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13338

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
