When buying a new laptop I settled for a MacBook Pro with a M2 processor. As I was used to an Intel based MacBook Pro with virtual machines and Docker containers I keep searching for replacements for the functionality I was used to. Earlier I’ve written a blog post about running an Oracle Database on the M2 MacBook pro, this time I’d like to talk about using x86 based containers.

As Synology stopped supporting the SqueezeboxServer it’s time to move the software into a Docker container. This way I’m able to use everything the way I used to and move the software towards another server (or run it at the Synology box via Docker).

Sometimes you have the need to quickly spin up an Oracle Apex install to test something out or to just have a “clean” instance. Luckily this is quite easily done with Docker.
