JonJKF: “Really interested to know how people are managing local dev…”

Really interested to know how people are managing local dev setups with Docker, etc. I want to be able to arbitrarily spin up local environments with full databases, redis, queues, and so on without unrelated sites fighting for ports, etc., ideally being able to work on multiple worktrees too.

For each project I run a Debian container with - its own Tailscale identity, so it shows up as a separate host, eliminating port conflicts - rootless Docker-in-Docker inside the container, so each project has its own Docker setup
