Holistic Tech: Harness Your Library's Data Fetish to Solve the Right Problems

Session Abstract

Libraries have jumped on the User Experience bandwagon of late, rethinking our tools and services with a new focus on patron needs. But we still see things differently than our patrons. Where we see discrete services supporting our larger mission, patrons only see a confusing website. Without a holistic view, we spend our time solving the wrong problems.

Fortunately, we have everything we need locked up in data silos. In this presentation, I'll talk about how to get that data out of the dark and make it a powerful tool in reshaping your library's commitment to service.

Full Description

docker.sh: a small interactive shell hack for docker

Usage: ./docker.sh [base-image-name]

Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/5011

Unionize: network superpowers for your docker containers

Unionize lets you connect together docker containers in arbitrarily complex scenarios.

Note: I recommend to use https://github.com/jpetazzo/pipework instead.

pipework is a better name than unionize
it's hosted on a "real" github repo instead of a small gist :-)

Now if you want Unionize, it's still here. Just check those examples.

	# Install Ghost blogging platform and run in production environment on port 2368.
	#
	# 1. Clone https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost.git and put this file into the project root directory.
	# 2. Replace www.example.com (down below) with the FQDN the blog is supposed to run on.
	# 3. Build with:
	# sudo docker build -t ghost .
	# 4. Create local data directory:
	# mkdir -p ~/.docker_volumes/ghost/data
	#
	# Run it with:

	~ virtualenv env
	~ source env/bin/activate
