Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months?  We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost.  Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

Meeting link [https://us04web.zoom.us/j/74567357951?pwd=nQjQHcz7eKjaZ5YaHS2UGrat5UVUCv.1 here].


Containers seem to be the current buzzword, and Docker is at the head of the list. Join us for an introduction to the world of Docker containers, and a practical demonstration as well. We’ll look at how to use Docker from the command line, and how it can be managed via a web interface. We’ll also discuss some security aspects which various vendors are trying to address. The presentation will be interactive, with questions welcome.
Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know.


Speaker: Robert Nix


Bob is a Linux Systems Engineer at Mayo Clinic, and has worked with operating systems for 18 years for Mayo, and another 20 before that at various large companies.
