• Sandboxed Re-Usable Exploration

Sandboxed Re-Usable Exploration by myself

• scalable partly automated creativity sandbox relying on my own principle
  • Principle and before SundayGeekBrunch2016InventingOnPrinciple2
  • docker
    • PmWiki:PmWiki
      • with Cookbook:CodeMirror
      • with saving to existing PmWiki instance

    • with additional nodes if required
  • jsbin/blockbuilder
    • with saving to github/gist
• workflow
  1. request a sandbox
  2. connect to the sandbox
  3. describe the expected outcome
  4. structure the outcome in a re-usable format
  5. fetch data from older projects or sandboxes
  6. work in the sandbox
     • using fast feedback forkable efficient tools
  7. download outcome
  8. kill the sandbox

Overall remarks and conclusions

• difficult to pick the right layer and tools for abstraction and virtualization
  • VM, thin VM using AMI, docker, Ansible, etc
• nothing usable done
  • why not?
    • unclear specifications
    • staying generalist and ideal instead of doing 1 instance then iterating
• for next time consider
  • the ~/Prototypes folders on different computers
  • a wiki group e.g. SRE with for each page using Template
    • a goal e.g. learn about Docker
    • a timeframe e.g. half a day May 16 2016
    • a versionned Docker file linked to an older Docker file
      • could be stored on the wiki e.g. SER/SandboxName-Docker
  • how can the lessons learned be integrated back efficiently
  • the SER efficiently restarted in the (not too distant) future
  • what's the added value compared to...
    • BlockBuilder
    • Docker HUB
    • etc
