Using AWS Data Migration Service

 Want to share this easily?  Check out the Notion page. By Morgan Lucas (she/her) from this video by Johnny Chivers We use data migration services to, well, migrate data. But why would we want to do this?  Perhaps... We're moving our business to the cloud, and need to shift all of that cold storage we have onsite. We want to use it as a backup in cause our infrastructure is out of commission. We could have information to share with a 3rd party, and instead of giving access to on-site databases, we put it on AWS to share. Nevertheless, let's recap what I've done.

A few days ago, Nintendo Europe released a video showing off the Splatoon 3 edition Switch, and it is gorgeous . It looks more colorful than the actual game. Wish I made enough money consistently to justify getting one of these. Want to help with that? See here and share .   I'm not super sure when these

Packaging an app with Dockerfile

 Find a better formatted version of this post on Notion ! Share it. Share this too. The more sharing, the better. Packaging the app: ✅ Pushing to DockerHub: ✅ See Error Pushing to Docker Hub below for how I troubleshot the issue! What is my app? A static webpage I had created for fun a few months ago. I knew it would come in handy! What did I do? Used demo static webpage for testing. Created Dockerfile 💡 It should be Dockerfile, no extension. Dockerfile.Dockerfile is incorrect! Used nginx Alpine as server and the following code: FROM scratch as static-site WORKDIR /app COPY . . FROM nginx:1.16.0-alpine as server COPY --from=static-site /app /usr/share/nginx/html EXPOSE 80 CMD [ "nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"] From Mwiza Kumwenda (see resources below). I wondered if I should use "start" in the CMD [ "nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"] list/tuple, but it worked without it. Exposed port 80 Created image;
