Total input[type=file] style control with pure CSS. File type inputs are notoriously hard to style, due to different semi-serious style restrictions in the name of security (the argument being that a file input presents access to the user's private file system, and should as such always look unambiguously like what it is — redundant if you ask m…

Give network superpowers to docker

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.

  • 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.
