Whenever automating something while working with Docker containers, you might want to execute some script inside one of your containers.

And then the fun starts.

All the documentation online will tell you that you have to run something like:

docker compose exec [container] [command]

Which is fun and all, but it isn’t anywhere close to something like:

docker compose exec [container]
$ [command]

I have a long term itch that I kept wanting to scratch. Now it’s finally worth it.

For a long time I’ve been dreaming about having my entire digital life stored locally, within my possession. I always thought about it more like a personal backup, which wasn’t a big-enough pain to determine me to do it, until the rise of GPT products.

ChatGPT and the AI boom means that right now, you can ask questions about your data and get quick and accurate responses, and, very soon, we’ll be able to spot trends and analyze data in a way that hasn’t been possible before. At least not in a personal way.

There are so many storage options out there that it’s very easy not only to store your files, but also to loose track of them.

I do understand the need for OTPs (One Time Password). It’s a very easy way to confirm the identity of a user using a different medium. And the key here is the word confirm, because it’s not an actual password, just a simple way to confirm an existing authentication.
