Sometimes I like to stash commands that I use regularly. Below is a snippet of code that I find helpful from time to time.

Enjoying Microk8s, Docker, and the TICK Stack.

All the metrics. Monitoring #k8s, #docker, and #baremetal using the #TICK stack. Hosting #RocketChat, #GitLab, #Artifactory, #Nginx (reverse proxy), & #Keyclock (for SSO across all) in #Docker. Spinning dev containers on-demand running #RoR and #Cloud9 using #MicroK8s & #MetalLB.

Educators can create an account, create a course, and assign development environments to the course. Students access containerized development environments through their web browsers, featuring VSCode with integrated terminal access.

Instructors can configure specific environments—I use Django in my UCCS courses—where they specify the version of Python and Django each student gets. Students enroll using course links and launch containers matching the instructor's specifications.

For students unable to purchase licenses, the platform offers docker images as open-source software so they can host the environments locally. The service also partners with bookstores to provide bulk licensing through textbook affordability programs.

The platform has proven successful at UCCS with over 100 students, eliminating the need for individual technical support on personal devices while maintaining flexibility for different programming stacks.
