Docker Turns To Minecraft For Server Ops (sdtimes.com)

dmleonard618 writes: A new GitHub project is allowing software teams to construct software like Legos. DockerCraft is a Minecraft mod that lets administrators handle and deploy servers within Minecraft. What makes this project really interesting is that it lets you navigate through server stacks in a 3D space. "In today's world, we wanted to focus more on building. Minecraft has emerged as the sandbox game of the decade, so we chose to use that as our visual interface to Docker," Docker wrote in a blog.

    I'm 62 and I love Minecraft! An eight year old got me started by asking me how to do things within the game. I started playing so I could answer his questions, and got hooked. I could play for hours.

    Women? I've had more than my fair share and now I'm slowing down in that particular activity. The parts still work, but the desire to use them has declined, much like my 64 year old girlfriend's.

    Scotch? I don't drink. That's dangerous.

    Other people? I don't really like crowds, if that's what you're talking about. Family and a few friends will do for me. When you have NINE grandchildren, you don't really have to go far to be among people.

    Volunteering? Been there, done lots of that. I now prefer $$.

    The outside? I've spent nearly 40 years working outside, several years as a Scout leader being outside, played sports outside, hunted outside, fished outside, etc.. I don't need more time trying to get skin cancer, thank you. After traveling on my job for so many years, I don't even want to go on vacation anywhere except home.

    You need to realize that different people like to spend their time doing whatever they like doing. I suggest you spend yours chilling out a little.
