Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour?

I learned docker-compose in roughly one hour. It changed my mind on Docker as adding extra complexity to: docker-ize all the things and update with docker-compose up -d!

I guess this does depend on some prior experience with docker and perhaps on me avoiding docker-compse because I thought it was docker for pros. Instead, it's docker for dummies.

What resource did you use to learn it?

I wanted to start running Home Assistant using Docker (on my main server instead of a dedicated Raspberry Pi with Hass.io) and came across this page [0], search for "Docker Compose", I copied the yaml, ran docker-compose up -d and boom. Shortly afterwards I added mosquitto and sabnzbd to the yaml and all three now update very easily and everything became very portable. Before I was keeping docker commands somewhere in an md file.

Edit, I hope to learn Traefik reverse proxying in one hour next ;)
