For some reason I found docker very unintuitive, even writing a simple build script was confusing. I agree, this book would have done a much better job of introduction than the docker site.
- zwischenzug 11y agoOut of interest, what did you find confusing/unintuitive? I'm writing a book on Docker so am interested in where the pain points are.
- rikrassen 11y agoIt was mostly how we wanted to use it at my company. It didn't seem clear whether docker should just set up the system (apt-get, pip install) or also checkout the code. To add to the complexity, we have a puppet script we run on the machine to install dependencies. I had no idea how Docker who supposed to fit into this pipeline. So basically, I didn't know what docker was supposed to be good at, i.e. do better than other tools.
- zwischenzug 11y agoInteresting. You might be interested in my blog and book: http://zwischenzugs.wordpress.com/ http://zwischenzugs.wordpress.com/ There are links through there to my book, where the first chapter is free to download, and may help. Let me know if you have any feedback.
