A cloud-based software installation refers to the deployment and use of software applications that are hosted on remote servers and accessed via the internet. Instead of being installed locally on individual computers or servers, the software resides on cloud infrastructure managed by a third-party provider. Users can access and use the software through web browsers or dedicated client applications, enabling them to leverage the benefits of scalability, flexibility, and remote accessibility.

Ruby on Rails, often simply called Rails, is a web application framework written in Ruby. It was created by David Heinemeier Hansson and released in 2004. Rails is designed to make programming web applications easier by making assumptions about what every developer needs to get started. It allows developers to write less code while accomplishing more than many other languages and frameworks.

Hello all! In this article, I outline my local docker setup for developing wordpress plugins and themes. I use docker to run local mysql (multiple versions) and php (multiple versions) as well as manage the wordpress installed plugins. Furthermore, I use the same setup for deploying to production, so it is particularly useful.

The majority of configuration resides in Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml, however, I also have a few scripts and naming formalisms that facilitate development and rational thinking.

Although we will not be using these screens, they have been made for a client in order to move a prototyping project forward. 

• Wordpress has been decoupled from the Drupal website. See also: a summary of how we made sure to preserve all urls and links during the migration. 
• Bugfixes and minor stylistic changes
• Added section StacksScrollerv0.0.0

Suppose you want to serve some paths with rails, and some other paths with wordpress. or you want the app to serve rails pages if they are available, and fall back on wordpress otherwise.

I've recently had to re-do this. This has happened too often for me, and it's just very annoying in general. There are many problems (and offered solutions) around /etc/hosts file, for chrome only as well as for the os x generally. I've noticed that the /etc/hosts file works just fine for curl, but does not work for chrome. This led me to believe that the problem was a chrome setting, but upon fixing it, I am less certain that Chrome is the culprit. My solution is below. Basically, the host file needs to be ASCII-compliant. I've had that file soft-linked and modified by a number of actors.
