I’m setting up a docker cloud with rancher on a few servers of mine and would like to know if anyone could suggest good reading for good practices and example architectures. Example questions I’m facing: Do you dockerize your database? Which precautions do you take, if you do? One SGBD per application? What shared services do you keep? NFS? How do you keep NFS resilient? Do you dockerize your NFS machine into a container? Any suggestions? ---
