Docker for frontend development

Hi I'm Tiago!

@trodrigues

trodrigues.net

Why?

Reproducible dev environments

Disadvantages

• Slower
• More cumbersome when trying dependencies

How?

This was an interesting experiment but until a way to fix the NFS file share issue comes along, I probably won't be using Docker for any kind of front end development.

It got better!

Docker for Mac/Windows

Not Docker Toolbox

New Docker

• OSX 10.10 (Yosemite), 2010 or later Mac
• Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (with HyperV enabled)

The secret sauce

• Hypervisor based virtualization
  • No more Virtualbox!
• osxfs: 🎉
  • https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/
• Windows: 😱
  • https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#inotify-on-shared-drives-does-not-work

Setting it up
