Node Devcontainer for VSCode

This container definition has an anonymous volume that will mount to /workspace/node_modules.
This drastically improves IO performance :)
yarn install && touch node_modules/.gitkeep runs post container creation
Commit the .gitkeep to source control, but leave the rest of node_modules ignored.
This is because the folder needs to exist for it to be mountable

Secure MongoDB on Docker (incl MongoExpress, Let's Encrypt)

This gist contains files and instructions to setup MongoDB on a simple docker host.
Connections to Mongo are secured using TLS, and the certificate is signed using Let's Encrypt.
MongoExpress is included as well, but should only be used over an SSH tunnel.

Update .env
Make sure docker-compose is available

Required on GCP Cloud Optimized OS

Wordpress (with full HTTPS) on Docker

Instuctions and files to set up Wordpress on a simple Docker host.
Wordpress sits behind a HTTPS reverse proxy (nginx) which can be signed by Let's Encrypt.

1. Spin up a new VM on Google Compute Engine:

start with a micro instance, we can always increase it later **
use Container Optimized OS, and a 10GB disk
no need to reserve a static IP, we will use DDNS instead
enable deletion protection

	# I'm using an Atlas DB called 'nightscout-cluster' at the time of writing.
	# This DB is limited to 500MB so every now and then,
	# I want pump its records over to 'serverlessnightscout' (a serverless Atlas DB), which is unlimited.

	# If Nightscout ever starts supporting serverless databases, I can just update the
	# connectionstring in Heroku, and start using the unlimited one.
