  It's the roaring twenties again, cloud is the hot stuff, and nobody needs a server anymore. Right? Nope! I've been involved in more on-prem or hybrid projects in the last 12 months than in the last 3-4 years combined. There are plenty of industries and valid uses for still setting up on-prem servers. And quite often, that includes setting up IIS (Internet Information Services) on said machines. And of course, there's the classic use case - local development.

  How to move the Home Assistant SQLite database in Docker on Windows?

  This article explains how you can move your Home Assistant's SQLite database files to another location by mapping them to another volume in Docker. Using Docker on Windows.

  How to fix "Cannot start service edgeHubDev: Ports are not available: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:8883"

  Here is another fun one for the books! In this article, I will explain how to fix a problem with the Azure IoT Edge dev simulator, when it fails to start due to an underlying problem with Docker not having access to your defined ports. This will probably happen to one of the ports used by the Edge Hub system module by default - 5671, 8883, or 443.
