Double-feature: Put Your Docker Image on a Diet & Docker mistakes

This month we have a double-feature all about docker!

First up we have Peter Fisher (PHP Developer, Teacher/Trainer and host of the ‘How to Code Well’ podcast and YouTube channel) giving us a longer, updated version of his ‘Put Your Docker Image on a Diet’ talk, talking to us about Docker and showing us how to use best practices within Docker to reduce the size of our images.

The original lightning talk from PHP South West is on their YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/uiABt9axPNo.

Second up we have a returning speaker, Dan Ackroyd (maintainer of the PHP Imagick extension) giving us a talk about "Docker mistakes". Some of them are simple mistakes we make and others are more indepth.

Why not come along, grab a slice, and learn how you can utlise docker in your PHP environment and avoid the common mistakes.

If anyone also wants to give a talk this month, or at a future meetup, please let one of the organisers know.
