Just started a six-month contract where the entire system appears to be a mono-repo. Docker PS PORTS: 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5601->5601/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9090->9090/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9200->9200/tcp (aye, one container)
Everyone seems to be using Macs (the company issues them to employees) which a few years ago would be groovy as my Mac (2015) was made when Steve Jobs was around.
So if they want SequelPro (ETA: maybe not unless they actually open db port) or some elasticsearch app, Postman (same thing with ports) or what have you they're all set. I installed what seems to be a good MySQL workbench in WSL2 but of course it doesn't right now detect any DB's.
So is there any half-decent approach where I can configure access from Windows? Or should I be looking for a 1998-2000+ Macbook Pro?
I have been using WSL2 Docker for some years. Nginx/Apache (in their very own containers) would have some open port, as would the app. I likely could get them to mod the Dockerfiles (no docker-compose to be found) to expose some ports yet I seem to recall - maybe WSL1 - you could basically open everything. I don't want to be the new guy who asks for changes just because I'm using WSL so if I can make some change just on my machine I'm willing to do it.
I was thinking of at least opening some ports to WSL2 so I could use Workbench (sure I can already exec into the container and run mysql) and as I just started I don't know how to see my updates so opening port 80 and running some browser will be useful.
I'm going to try going Linux. M$ and Apple (although a newer Pro in the arsenal would be nice) aren't providing anything this projects needs.
And WSL could only be a constant hassle. Even just last week I "refreshed" windows and not one of my docker repos worked right off and even now only the PostgreSQL apps running as they should.
I've got a Sandisk 99D Terrabyte SSD that I've done little with. I reckon dual booting Linux off that will be a good solution.
I know there are issues with correctly setting up bootloaders and other partitions (besides re-installing this app) so I'll leave this question open a few more hours in case someone has tips or I have other questions. TIA!
