I am a huge fan of shell scripting. But recently it did give me very unexpected
behaviour which lead me to start using python for “shell” scripts.
What happened? I was trying to create helpers that called other helpers and
passed the arguments with “$@”. This worked fine for a very long time until you
pass along strings like ‘-e “CREATE DATABASE foo”’ to a shell script.

Chroot? what is that? Is docker a chroot?
With docker / containers we can easily isolate our PHP applications from the host system. It also helps us running multiple PHP versions without too much hassle. As an extra bonus our specific application containers can have their own extensions without interfering with each other.
With nginx as webserver we will show some of the handy features of docker.

Lets explain in clear and short how to setup a dhcp/dns with dhcpd and bind.
The goal is to have a predefined dns where the dhcp connected hosts are
automatically added so you get a more convenient way to connect to other
machines on your network. Especially not having to remember the ip address of
the others.

In the past i would have said, I have nothing interesting to tell people worthy of putting in a blog. Now I changed my mind and I kinda starting a blog to keep myself from forgetting how I got something done :)
This blog is based on sculpin so everything is written in markdown.
The choice for a static site generator is fairly simple, blogs are in general not really dynamic content and so it will be FAST :).
