Ditching Docker for Local Development - eviltoast
Earlier this month I mentioned on Mastodon that I was replacing a Docker-based local development environment at my day job with a Nix-based one, orchestrated with overmind and a justfile. There was quite a lot of interest in particular in how overmind and just could be used to replace a container / compose-based local development. While I can’t share the details of the significantly more complex migration I did at my day job (yet!

Some folks on the internet were interested in how I had managed to ditch Docker for local development. This is a slightly overdue write up on how I typically do things now with Nix, Overmind and Just.

    If your app behaves differently based on the GCC version the same node version has been compiled, there’s a fuck-up in there.

        ahh, I see. I guess you had to do a bit more work to ensure everything builds with the same versions.
