My Laravel project is in part a headless CMS - this means it has and API that gets called by a frontend system - with around 10 API requests per page view.
We can cache some of that - but sometimes caches are empty and the site still has to be responsive.
The meant I needed to optimise my Laravel site and after a few experiments I found that using [Laravel Octane]](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/octane) with FrankenPHP gave me the performance boost I needed without needing any significant code change.
I’m a long time Linux user, and a big fan of Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, and containers.
While I love developing on Linux - I do sometimes find it frustrating that I don’t have the same level of access to the Microsoft suite on Linux.
A while ago I had to use a Windows laptop for a few days and tried out using WSL - so most of the time I’m in Linux - I didn’t entirely hate it so when it was time for an upgrade I decided to try the Windows route this time.
I’ve had my new machine for a little over a week now.
I’ve had a few problems with docker and firewalls and seem to get a “good enough” solution only to run into trouble again later having forgotten what I’ve done so far.
This is an attempt to make some notes and at least capture where I am up to.
TLDR
- Disable dockers Iptables
- Add some firewalld rules
- Watch out if the Docker interface changes

I’m running Next.js apps in production using Kubernetes - and I’ve inherited some setup that I didn’t fully understand so I’ve been investigating what is going on with environment variables.
My inherited system used a build per environment and bakes in configuration at that point.
I dislike this because …
I’m staring a new PHP project and I wanted a clean docker image to work from.
I inherited one on my last project and wanted to improve image size, security and production alignment.
I had a docker image and couldn’t find the Dockerfile but wanted to see what was in it
docker image history --no-trunc --format="{{.CreatedBy}}" imagename
