devbox

TL;DR

1. Use Docker Compose to manage everything cleanly
2. Run Traefik in Docker configured to use Docker as a backend
3. Run dnsmasq in Docker to resolve a nice tld to a local ip
4. Configure MacOS to use dnsmasq for DNS lookup
   • Don't forget to add a fallback dns in the Mac system preferences, otherwise when docker restarts you won't be able to access the internet
5. (Optional) Run Portainer to make inspecting Docker easier

TODO

• Add todo list
• Add ssl
• Capture access logs
