For those who have gone through the pain ...

Rather, it is about recovering data if the backed-up system fails. This article is dedicated to this aspect of backup, which is just as simple when using Docker as recovering your previous backup. Finally, we will also cover how to delete backups if you run out of storage space.

Docs As Code – Continuous Delivery of Presentations with reveal.js and Jenkins – Part 1

Reveal.js allows software developers to use web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to deploy slides for presentations and to display them in the browser.

Minimize administration effort

It is curious that in the field of software development, in which developers create something new every day, the "never change a running system" approach is very widely followed when it comes to the underlying toolchain.

Continuous Delivery with Sonatype Nexus, Jenkins and the Cloudogu EcoSystem

In order to meet the growing demand to release new features at an increasingly faster pace, these features must be implemented faster and faster. But that's just one side of the coin.
