NetSuite Professionals

Any teams here use Docker or similar to automate machine setup for new team members?

Any suggestions/tips/resources I could look at? I'm completely new to those sorts of tools

The setup I run for my daily driver is:
• fedora silverblue as my host OS
• some base rpm OS layers like ansible and my GUI theme
• flatpaks for GUI apps
• containers for specific dev environments, utils, and tooling
I'm in the process of documenting and configuring the whole thing in this repo: <https://github.com/0xbboyd/init-workstation/tree/master/workstation>

The whole system can then be bootstrapped with ansible.

Ah, one other tip I forgot to mention is, once you have some containers built and running, you can alias their commands on the host. So in your .aliases file, do stuff like:
```alias sdf-deploy="podman exec -it -w /src [your-sdf-container] sdfcli deploy"```
You can get very creative with automating project workflows using containers this way.

I'll be adding an aliases file and more containers to the init-workstation project...
