Web Dev with Matt

Docker Compose is an excellent way of deploying apps both on local development machines and to remote environments, but does it play nice with Composer path repositories. Yes. They sure do. In this week's episode I shared a little experience I had during the week where I didn't update my docker-compose.yml file to account for the fact that the path to a forked git repository was outside of my defa...

This is a bit of a fireside-chat style episode, with not much tech talk going on. Rather, it's a bit of a look behind-the-scenes at what goes in to creating technical books and courses, such as a bit about what it takes to set up a home recording studio (on a budget) that still delivers the level of professionalism that you'd expect.  So grab your favourite beverage, settle in, and please don't mi...

Links from the episode Firefox's Responsive Design Mode Chrome/Chromium's Device Mode Safari's Responsive Design Mode Questions from the episode How many breakpoints a...

While building my first GitHub Action-based workflow recently, I struggled until I took the time to relearn - and re-appreciate - how the Docker client and daemon communicate. In this episode, I share: How they work How the understanding helped me build a solid workflow to deploy webdevwithmatt.com Some of the different ways you can tell the Docker client which Docker daemon (remote engine) to com...
