Where did you learn how to build .deb files? Every time I try it ends up being horribly complex and I either go back to a shell script or something like OpenSuse Build Service. Docker is great - when it works, but there's something very wrong with deploying a whole new OS just because we can't work out packaging and deployment properly.
- lamby 11y agoJumping in here, but I always suggest just packaging something pretty vanilla outside of a web app due to all the aforementioned specifics and impedence mismatches of deploying web apps. Learning some of the innards of the package management system of your machines is surely a good idea in itself, if only because you are relying on them so much. Even if you just say "screw it" and use shell scripts to deploy anyway.
