In the early days of app documentation, animated images (like GIFs) were a fantastic way to demonstrate how an application worked. They provided a dynamic, visual way to guide users through processes that might have been confusing with text alone.
However, I’ve noticed a shift over time. These animations have become faster and more complex, to the point where they’re sometimes more of a distraction than a help. You can see it in action on the VSCode extensions page for the just released Gemini Code Assist:
When hosting websites with docker (and proxying via Caddy), I often need to tweak the nginx config. This how-to guide will walk you through the steps you can take to accomplish this.
0. Setup For this tutorial, here’s my setup:
Dockerfile
FROM nginx:alpine
COPY public/ /usr/share/nginx/html The Dockerfile is in source code directory and we have another directory called nginx where we can store customized config files.

Have you ever watched video where developer securely clone their git repos without entering a password and wondered how to set that up? Well, it’s quite simple and I’ll walk you through the steps.
This approach uses ssh keys to authenticate and then the sync occurs over ssh tunnels, encrypting the traffic. Setting up ssh keys is simple and you’ll no longer have to type in a username and password.
If you’re using an email service like Postmark, you’ll have to handle your own list management except unsubscribes and suppression (e.g. from hard bounces). To do this, a little web app will be needed if you want to do things like double opt-in (good idea). You’ll likely then want more features like profile management but the goal of this howto is getting a simple and hopefully secure webapp in place for /subscribe and /confirm (you can get unsubscribes/suppressions from Postmark via web-hooks or an API call).
If you receive ‘Error: no existing content directory configured for this project’ from hugo when adding new content, there’s a simple fix. This post will walk you through the steps to resolve the error.
