  • I’ve reached for some complex awk when I am looking to parse snippets of code where breaking out a full language parser would have been too much.

    One example is parsing statements from a Dockerfile but only within certain stages of the image. So I reach for regex range in awk and I can make something that works everywhere.

    Of course I probably could have done the same thing in python by controlling the beginning and end via variables, but I like awk sometimes.

    If you have multiple media apps. Say radarr, sonarr. You will thank yourself later if you set up all of those in docker-compose, save the configuration to git, mount the storage to something like /media in the container. That means next time you have to set this up again it will automatically be ready.

    I had previous work experience, but setting up containers vs VMs was way faster. The permissions of the media between multiple apps was never messed with which saved me from frustrating issues between applications.
