I do remember your talk. But this Pulse Audio server will likely work,
because you can't mess with it in any meaningful way.

I have never really used Docker.  I have never really used NodeJS/npm/etc.

Does anyone have a Debian-flavoured tutorial for setting up 
Docker/NodeJS so that I can build and run someone else's code?


A colleague of mine at DigitalOcean wrote this tutorial (as part of a 
larger series on running containerized Node applications on Kubernetes):


https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-a-node-js-application-with-docker

While it is Ubuntu 18.04 focused, the principles are the same.

To get Node & Docker working on Debian, these ought to help:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-debian-10

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-debian-10

Feel free to ask any follow ups here if you follow along with those, or 
email me directly if you run into any issues.


Cheers, Jamon

Hi William.

Another option to consider is VirtualBox (or something like it).  I
suppose this depends on your familiarity with VB: I'm very familiar
with it, so spinning up a new machine in VB is quite straightforward
for me.  I'm not claiming VB is better (it definitely uses more
resources), just that you could find it easier if you're comfortable
with it.  I also found Docker a struggle to get started with, and
throwing a new language on top of that makes it really daunting.  Best
of luck.

[GTALUG] Docker, NodeJS and complexity

[William Witteman via talk]

I have some existing projects to contribute to that use NodeJS and Docker,
and I am finding that getting set up to work on them is extremely daunting.

I have never really used Docker.  I have never really used NodeJS/npm/etc.

I do know Javascript, but I don't build projects like this - it reminds me
of Ruby-on-Rails, which I found to be a huge snarl of complexity.

I know that the initial development was done on Macs, but in theory at
least, I should be able to set up the Docker container and use that to get
me into an equivalent development environment, but I don't really know how.

Does anyone have a Debian-flavoured tutorial for setting up Docker/NodeJS
so that I can build and run someone else's code?

Thanks!
