   Project mention: MQTT turns 25 (and has taken over the world) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-22

   I remember reading about it on Jessie Frazelle's blog [1] almost ten years back. I don't think I'd discovered HN so it must have been via Hackaday or similar. I fantasized about how amazing it must be to not have to worry about the myriad issues that came with manually maintaining different deployment environments and dependencies. Unfortunately at the time I was stuck in a professional microcosm that ran on Microsoft products and _maybe_ RHEL under severe duress (with a serious aversion to `audit2allow` and liberal application of `setenforce 0` to boot). Things have been considerably smoother since I've been able to use Docker and containerd via k8s on a full-time basis.

   Project mention: How to make your development workflow more effective with Claude | dev.to | 2025-04-09

   The container creates a Docker volume named after your project directory (like your-project-name-volume) and mounts it at /workspaces/your-project-name/volume/ inside the container. This approach ensures your development files persist across container restarts and rebuilds. Why use a Docker volume instead of a simple host directory mount? It makes a huge difference for file watching functionality, which you'll definitely appreciate when you want features like auto-recompiling to work properly.

   Project mention: DatAasee - A Metadata-Lake | dev.to | 2025-05-06

   Internally, DatAasee is realized as a three tier software architecture, where each tier is encapsulated in its own container. The inner data-tier is a multi-model NoSQL database ArcadeDB. The middle logic-tier is an (HTTP-JSON-REST) API-server and semantic-layer around the database realized via Connect (aka Benthos). The outer presentation-layer uses Lowdefy as a prototype frontend which exclusively uses the API. This multi-container application is deployed and orchestrated via Compose.

    Project mention: Tool Containerization Best Practices For Embedded Software Development | dev.to | 2024-09-24

    The approach of creating dedicated containers not only simplifies the management of development environments but also encourages the reuse of tool images. At axem, our team is dedicated to developing tool images that can serve as fundamental building blocks for constructing new development environments. That's why we've made our repository of Dockerfiles open to the community. Open Tool Dockerfiles (OTD) is an open and collaborative repo for storing and sharing Dockerfiles, specifically tailored for embedded software development tools. Our mission is to create a community-driven repository where developers can freely contribute, access, and utilize containerized build systems, debuggers, toolchains and more. We welcome contributions from everyone, so feel free to add new Dockerfiles to the repository.
