    you could almost all server applications on docker
     
    docker is like running a VM with less overhat 
    just create a file with the name "docker-compose.yml"
    and use the 2 cmd's below to start your container from inside the folder you created the docker-compose.yml in
    docker-compose is the default name so you dont have to tell docker the name of the compose file
     
    your docker file should contain 
     
    edit:/ you prop want to save data on your host pc in that case you'll have to use volumes aswell
    just read the whole readme in 
    volumes:
    - /x/:/y/
    the first path is on your host system (/x/)
    the second path is on your container (/y/)
     
    your file should prop look something like this:
    version: '2.2' services: web: image: aspendigital/octobercms:latest ports: - 80:80 environment: - DB_TYPE=mysql - DB_HOST=mysql #DB_HOST should match the service name of the database container - DB_DATABASE=octobercms - DB_USERNAME=root - DB_PASSWORD=root - TZ=America/Denver volumes: - /some/dir/on/your/host/pc/resizer:/var/www/html/plugins/aspendigital/resizer - /some/dir/.env:/var/www/html/.env - /some/dir/plugins:/var/www/html/plugins - /some/dir/storage/app:/var/www/html/storage/app - /some/dir/storage/logs:/var/www/html/storage/logs - /some/dir/storage/database.sqlite:/var/www/html/storage/database.sqlite - /some/dir/themes:/var/www/html/themes mysql: image: mysql:5.7 ports: - 3306:3306 environment: - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root - MYSQL_DATABASE=octobercms volumes: - /some/dir/where/you/want/to/safe/your/mysql/data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql  
    root as name & password is obv. not great if you ever want to expose your service
     
    my writing is kinda clutterd so just ask follow up questions if i just ignored your question and wrote else

    mrchow19910319 reacted to SolarNova in what kind of screen calibration software do you guys use ?   
    DisplayCAL.
     
    its the go to software. its open source and regularly updated.
     
    The software that comes with these commercial calibrators is usually 'ok' ..but not great.
     
    DisplayCAL is software used with colorimeters, like the X-rite i1 Dsiplay Pro for example.. so its no good without one.

    Software? You could try going through these http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ but the only way to properly calibrate is to use a calorimeter designed for that. Something like X-Rite ColorMunki Smile, Colormunki Display, Datacolor Spyder 5, Spyder Express etc.

    Well, if they want to ramp up margins, this is the best way. AMD is way cheaper than Intel, but performs just as good. Apple will charge the same for their devices, but will have to pay less for their components. Makes perfect sense.

    mrchow19910319 reacted to Kisai in whats the best way to wirelesslly transfer files between android devices and PC?   
    The best way to transfer data is:
    1) Store on the SD card and then eject it to transfer to the PC. This is the fastest option, but not the most convenient.
    2) Store on the system memory/SD card and then plug in via USB, this is the next fastest option and most typical for transferring photos, since you can use it with printers that have USB ports too.
    3) Via WiFi or Bluetooth. Both of these are horribly slow, however the bluetooth option at least is convenient between two phones. You'll otherwise need an app to sync between them which leads to.
    4) Use Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, or Google Drive. This involves uploading stuff to the internet, but then any device you have the cloud drive software installed to will have it.
     
    The recommended way to transfer data to a PC is USB, regardless of any other way, because Wireless is slower than USB2.0, especially in mobile phones.

    Open the install.php file in a text editor and see what's in it. You might be able to find where/when the error message is supposed to be shown and what's causing this

    It looks promising, but it's not even "Blizzard soon", so it's at least 3-5 years away.  I don't like the super bland colours though.  Yes D2 was moody, but it had punchy red, blacks and browns.  This is just....lots of grey...  D3 is good for what it is, killing monsters en masse and quickly.  PoE is great for people wanting a D2 successor.  They are great for different things.  Let's hope D4 is a combination of both.

    mrchow19910319 reacted to Dutch_Master in Linux backup solution. Which one is better?   
    I'm using rsync. It helps both desktop and file server run Linux, so using SSH keys I can seamlessly copy files over. And as the file server also has an NFS server I can browse the backup location from my desktop equally seamless. The file server has a RAID6, totalling 8TB, so I can also back up the video-drive in my desktop (which accounts for 4+ TB alone!) while having a 2-disk redundancy.

    just google cms and the programming language you feel confortable with for example
    create cms website php
    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=create+cms+website
     
    you could use something like laravel (its a framework for php)
    you dont really have to know much about databases (sql etc) to maintain something like you described, its really straight forward
    it also has a nice template engine: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/blade
     
    i dont know how good laravel scales to be honest because i mostly write java code (java spring for backend stuff)

    I sold and still sell cell phones as part of my work, and I can tell you unequivocally that the deployment of '5G' is for no other reason than marketing. When '4G' was being launched, the term was used pretty loosely, including for HSPA+ (3G GSM on steroids) and WiMAX (WiFi on steroids). It is all just a marketing ploy to 'build excitement' and try to get people to switch carriers, and for carriers to try to stand out in consumer awareness. All the carriers want is to be able to claim to be 'first' in a given technology or feature, and then to have the 'best'. It doesn't matter if it is really of no use to you, as long as they can make you feel like you're getting something from them that nobody else can offer.
     
    We needed proper 4G when it was being launched, because we'd already been punishing the old 3G network with usage in place that could easily overload the infrastructure available. Currently, the 4G network technology has plenty of room for the demand, if we just got the deployment of infrastructure up to the technology's full potential. The only reason carriers are migrating their focus to 5G is that marketing angle, and the fact that the 4G networks are 'good enough' to carry the base load we have now, and act as a solid fallback for the gaps in 5G deployment. If carriers were to 'saturate' the capability of 4G before launching any 5G, it'd probably be 2 more years before we saw any real deployment beyond a very select few test markets. T-Mobile's recent claim of 'nationwide 5G' is funny to me, because the map showed that they're finally achieving coverage in the 'dust bowl states', a result of the consolation prize for the failed AT&T buyout. If T-Mobile were really serious about being competitive and providing coverage, they would've done much more to deploy and advertise their expansion in geographic coverage. The fact that there are still holes where you get NO coverage from carriers, and I'm talking about areas larger than a few widely scattered football fields, shows why providers of 'mobile' devices are not all that concerned with actual mobility. I'm fine with the idea of a carrier that can't yet offer the 1-2Gbps 5G in a more populated area, if they make it possible to get 100Mbps in those populated areas while offering complete coverage everywhere else, even if it only offered as little as 6Mbps speeds. That doesn't make for exciting marketing, though.
