Let’s continue our exploration of the wonders of local development with containers. This time, we’ll delve into the world of Haskell programming. Instead of burdening your local environment with the entire toolchain, we’ll opt for a more streamlined approach: creating a dev container. This example will illustrate how effortlessly you can integrate new tools and programming languages without causing any disruptions to your local system. What is Haskell Haskell, a pure functional programming language, though not as commonly used in the industry, is a powerful language whose fundamentals can significantly enhance your programming skills.

Hello devs, I’ve recently been exploring the synergy between Docker and VSCode for local development. The concept of consolidating code and dependencies into containers has caught my attention. This approach not only establishes a clean slate for each project but also promotes a stateless system, a goal that aligns seamlessly with my coding environment. To explore these ideas further, let’s create a small project: containerizing an installation of Hugo. This way, we can run our own dev blog anywhere without worrying about configuration and compatibility issues.

The other day, I was working on a project that had a Git submodule. Initially, I found it a bit tricky to make it work, so I decided to create a short tutorial on this. What is a Git submodule Essentially, a Git submodule is a way to include one Git repository inside another Git repository. This creates a nested structure. So, in simple words, a Git submodule is like a mini Git repository that you can include in your main Git repository to use and update external code or resources without actually putting all of their files directly in your project.

The other day, I needed to set up a PostgreSQL database, and after considering various solutions, I decided to use Docker. In this tutorial, I’ll share the solution that worked for my problem. Creating a PostgreSQL Database Using Docker Compose Docker Compose is a powerful tool that allows us to manage multiple containers from a single central point. You might think it’s a bit much for setting up a database, but I found it surprisingly easy to set up and use.
