So I suppose I'll just start out going over the very basics. Which so far is mostly what I know. So if you don't know much if anything about it this post is probably for you. So anyway, what is docker?

You might come to a situation where you will need to build a docker image where security policies do NOT allow for root-based images. And while searching you might come across articles like this one.

As I'm not terribly familiar with Oracle (I'm working to learn more) I ran into this particular error code which had me confused as to the cause. Eventually we narrowed down the cause and have a better idea as to why and I'll try my best to explain here. At least in my particular project.

I'm going to discuss a way to setup remote debugging via a virtual machine.

I just remembered an issue I was facing but had not found much documentation for. I was setting up the simplesamlphp library by creating a symbolic link to the library from the docroot. However I was constantly running into an "Permission denied" or Access Denied error.

If you're starting out working with Oracle and PHP (my sympathies) then it's possible you're having issues trying to understand the best ways to setup autoincrements with your database tables as well as retrieving the inserted ID upon running insertion queries as I did.

Recently I had to try and connect to Oracle via PHP and had naively assumed it was about as straight-forward as connecting to something like MySQL or Postgres. It is not.

I'm going to try and outline some potential issues and the steps which would be required to do so. 

If you run across this error in Drupal 8:

Fatal error: Class Drupal\Core\Session\SessionHandler contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (SessionHandlerInterface::read)

When you need to setup an alias for running your drush commands. For instance you need to do something like:

drush @mysite.local cr

drush @mysite.staging cr

And so and so far and target different environments more easily. 

It's fairly simple. 

In this post I'll be discussing how one creates custom fields in Drupal 8. There's a variety of reasons why one might need to create a custom field. Perhaps there is functionality that is far too specific for a given requirement such that one needs to store and input data in a particular manner.
