Docker for Web Hosting 101

Docker, and likewise Linux containers, have taken the development industry by storm. Legacy applications are being re-packaged as micro-services to break away from the heavy application installs and complex dependencies. Although lots of developers already use Docker on their machines for application testing, it's not always clear how Docker applications should be configured for a production web hosting environment.

I'm Dan Healy, founder and systems engineer for Healy Technologies. I've accomplished an electrical engineering degree from Old Dominion University as well as a master's of IT and Systems Engineer from University of Maryland University College. My experience includes technical leadership with the Johns Hopkins University enterprise web hosting team and architecting a Docker-based web hosting replacement for student and faculty websites. I also serve as a Senior Systems Engineer for Clever Devices LTD where I provide senior leadership and direction for multi-million dollar public transit technology projects.

In this demo, I'll teach you how to create a 3-node HA Docker Swarm cluster with a shared storage, container registry, and a reverse proxy. We'll also discuss some best practices for logs collection.
