Hallo Nana, you helped me a lot with your docker videos when I was doing my thesis 2 years ago, and today I found this video thanks to the algorithm and I have to say that your videos have improved, from really good to incredibly good ;) Thanks for what you do, sharing knowledge is probably one of the most honest things to do.
