I can see that! I need to be able to develop and unit/alpha test on my laptop. I took the udemy Docker Mastery course but at least half of it was swarms, which I don't think I need. Layering might be the right thing for me. I don't want to start creating images if I don't have to.
But looking through some examples, it seems that the layering is done with Dockerfile and docker build. So let's say I start with the Code igniter image, then I need to layer on Grocery Crud. I am using the free version, btw, which is a little worrying but I don't want to change too many things at one time. I am also using php 5.6 and CI 3.
So where do I load my code from? Or do I just build an image of my CI development environment directly and then use that as a layer on the Bitnami code igniter image?
Does anyone know if that is a reasonable way to go?
