The morning is ruined now.

I some time's feel stupid when my Ubuntu start acting up on prod, purge this and that ,fuck apache can't start system CTL that ps ax grep in the p#$#@* , damn apt install nginx full good, mysql can't start too ,OK apt install mariadb-client else percona && apt postgresql thanks ,god no client noticed ..

Can I just say, I owe my soul, nerves and eternal gratitude to the folk over at Percona? They publish articles that have, on more than one occasion, saved my hide when a DB node wasn't working as it should, and I had to find out how to fix that.

Seriously, amazing, love those guys!

Gah, I just received this Ubuntu 18.04 VM with 8 cores and 8 gigs of ram, and since it'll be a production server both serving public and "private" networks (yes, shout at me, but projects won't be about hosting sensitive information, I wouldn't put all that on one server), and I'm struggling between my options.

Docker, or not docker?

The server's main use is to host our growing blog and install Varnish, which will hog some ram after a while. I use Laradock for my dev projets, it's really easy to develop with it, but I am unsure if it fits a production environment with performance, security and traffic load in mind :(

I read Docker has stability issues (in 2016-2017), and can bring the machine down with it, I don't know if I should just install the software (nginx, apache, percona/mysql/maria) without "containerizing" it and go for it

I'm lost xD

So PHP PDOs... nothing fucking works. It's that or the lovely MariaDB implementation, I know that the query is correct and I've tried a stored procedure as well. The query itself ran once to add one user and never again while anything I try now doesn't return any result. I'm going to install Percona and see if it's the implementation or me.

MySQL docker container randomly just redeployed itself. Because he can.

The worst part is that it pulled the last mysql-percona image (5.7 strict mode by default plus more) and I cant revert it!!! looooool
And you know what its the best thing? is that today is friday!! Best weekend ever 10/10 would repeat again fixing sql's everyday
