Docker deployed
On the end of 2017, I’ve been exploring the world of containers, after testing and deploying in my own server, I’ve taken the next step and deployed docker on our company server, our GPS tracking system, document management solution, ticketing system and HRM software are fully running as docker containers for 4 months now.
New home
Recently I’ve acquired a VPS to host my own services as the server at home was becoming unsuitable for the job. Being a linux geek I’ve selected to install Ubuntu on this VPS to make the migration easier.
Smooth as silk
As it was expected since the beginning the migration went smooth as possible, after setting up docker and transferring all the files to the new server, it was as easy as running docker-composer up.
Conclusion
Containers make a system administrator life easier, moving from a my own server at home to a new location on VPS not only was fast, but it only took few steps, and few steps means less errors.
Future
In the coming months I will been testing docker in a developer perspective, in our company we are customizing our own version of Odoo and I’ve been developing a on-line PDF signature framework for internal use in the company. This will give me the perspective developer of how containers helps in the process of going from development to production.
