This blog has been quiet for a while. Okay, for rather a long time. It is time to get it going again. This time with the help of Docker. The aim is to make the local environment I use to write and maintain the blog more portable.

This is the second post an a short series describing my experience with setting up Octopress for this blog. The first post, dealing with installation and basic customisation, can be found here.

Recently I decided that it was time for me to start my own blog. When thinking about the details I quickly realised that I wanted something that integrated well with my existing workflow. The process of writing, publishing and managing posts needed to be as unobtrusive as possible, otherwise I’d struggle to find the time.
