Attempting to get the #Ruby #MailCatcher gem 💎 to work on MacOS, Windows, and Linux http://bloglessness.pockettheories.com/posts/running-mailcatcher/

I’m surprised we don’t have more server protocols implemented for #Ruby’s #EventMachine. There’s the SMTP server to make implementations extremely quick - #MailCatcher is a project based on EventMachine to provide a web interface to fetch emails sent to the SMTP server.

I spent 4-years managing a team focused on #authentication using an #opensource project called #cas . It caused us so much heartache. This past week, I worked with getting #fusionauth setup in a docker environment, and this platform is beyond amazing... and free! I love that I can configure users for my dev environment by making API calls via their JSON config. It is beautiful. Combined with #mailcatcher and everything just works for a dev environment!

Finally got my #docker containers up and running with my project (#nestjs and #react + #vite + #tailwindcss + #daisyui), #fusionauth (for AuthN), #cerbos (for AuthZ),#mailcatcher (for local SMTP), #postgres, and #adminer (for Postgres inspection).

I never really leveraged Docker this much for a personal project. It's pretty crazy though to be able to get all of this up and running in under 30-seconds from when I enter "docker compose up"
