Docker tutorial series released covering basics and Swift integration
Two technical guides have been published that explain Docker container technology. One article walks readers through the fundamentals of Docker, describing images, containers, the Docker engine, and how containers differ from virtual machines. It includes a step‑by‑step example of building a simple Docker image and running a basic web server.
A second guide focuses on using Docker to develop server‑side Swift applications with the Vapor 4 framework. It shows how to set up a Swift development environment inside a Docker container, eliminating the need for a local Swift installation, and provides instructions for pulling the official Swift image and running Vapor projects.
Both pieces aim at beginners and developers seeking to streamline their workflow with containerization.
