Recently we have started to look at the Early Access Program for Domino V12, which is currently available to us as a Docker image (rather than a Windows or Linux server installer). The process to create new Domino servers (using Docker Desktop for Windows and the Domino V12 Docker image) was fairly painless, however in […]

Last week Stephan Wissel pointed me towards Eclipse Theia, an open source cloud and desktop IDE platform written in TypeScript. This provides the VS Code experience in a browser. Firstly, there are some assumptions and misconceptions that are worth addressing for people coming from a Notes / Domino background. That Eclipse, Not That Eclipse Domino

One of the frustrations I have with trying new technologies is when the documentation covers a specific operating system, especially when it combines another technology that requires a certain level of understanding. I had that recently with a new product where the Docker commands for creating a container were given, with no explanation about them.
I’ve created the first in a set of videos about setting up Domino on Docker for development from Notes Client, XPages and Node.js / Node-RED. For me as a developer, the benefits of Docker I see include: Creating a container with data persisted in a volume. The volume can be exported, so developers can work

For a while I’ve been playing around with Domino on Docker, thanks to Tim Clark’s blog posts and, more recently, Karsten Lehmann’s GitHub repo. The next step after upgrading my local Domino server and Notes Client to 10.0.1 was to add Docker images for 10.0.1 and the GA App Dev Pack as well as 10.0.0

For a couple of weeks I’ve been working with Domino V10 on Docker, partly to use the App Dev Pack which is only available on Linux for the beta. There are a couple of gotchas that developers may fall into and may require changes of design. The first is that all file names and folder

This article has been prompted by my previous one on Domino application development. One of the major differences between Domino application development in the past and the approaches for Node.js-related development in the future is architecture. But part of that could also be an inhibitor for existing customers, because of the incubated world of Domino.

Today’s webinar on Domino 10 brought a lot of announcements. I won’t cover the announcements about Notes Client here – we were teased about a slimmer client and auto-updating of that client, but I’m sure we’ll find out more at IBM Think. I’ve already blogged my thoughts about the Notes Client as well. There are

In the previous part I covered setting up Node-RED, in my scenario as a Docker image. Triggering Domino code on schedule is surprisingly straightforward, requiring just two nodes. The first is the inject node and the second is the http request node. The inject node allows a process to be scheduled. The payload for the

The first part I’ll cover is the scheduler – Node-RED. Many developers may not be familiar with it, but for more on why I think it’s a good fit, see the previous part of the series. The best place to get started is the Getting Started part of the Node-RED site. Node-RED, as its name
