SaturdayMP Show #24: Can you use Docker Compose Watch without a Dockerfile?

In this episode I answer a viewer’s question if you can use Docker Compose Watch without a Dockerfile. Actually, it’s more me checking if they are correct. Spoiler alert, they are correct and you can’t use Docker Compose Watch without a Dockerfile. You will get an error message: “can’t watch service [service-name] without a build context”.

SaturdayMP Show #22: Adding Basic Auth to NGINX Passenger Docker (Part 2)

SaturdayMP Show #21: Adding Basic Auth to NGINX Passenger Docker (Part 1)

In this episode I explain and then start to add HTTP Basic Authentication to the Saturday MP website which is a Ruby on Rails application hosted on a Passenger Docker image. As usual I ran into some trouble and at the end of the video figured out I should use the envsubst command to dynamically set the Basic Auth, and other values, in the NGINX config.
