docker

I just tried out Docker for a small project and now I get all the hype around it. While searching for good guides I stumbled upon this excellent tutorial by Prakhar Srivastav: A Docker Tutorial for Beginners. If you want a deeper understanding of Docker and how it works, and not only how to spin up a container and leave it running, I highly recommend reading it. He also go through the basics of writing your own Docker image which helped me a lot.

yay

This guide will walk through the steps for installing yay (Yet another Yogurt) which is an AUR Helper. This will let you install packages from the AUR (Arch User Repository) in the same way you install packages from the Arch Repo with pacman.

Update 2021-05-21: There is a new AUR Helper that has got a lot of traction. It's called paru and works mostly the same but is written in Rust! I have a guide for installing it as well.
