ergophobia — week of 2026-03-02

A short, focused week with a single change worth logging: I added Docker support to the project. That meant a Dockerfile, a docker-compose setup covering both development and production configurations, and a .dockerignore to keep the build context lean by leaving out everything the image doesn’t need.

The motivation was reproducibility. Running the Eleventy build inside a container meant I could spin the site up the same way regardless of what was installed on the machine in front of me, and have a defined path from local development to a production build rather than relying on whatever Node version happened to be on the host. Compose made it a one-command thing to start the dev server with live reload.

It wasn’t a flashy change, but it removed a class of “works on my machine” friction, and that was the whole goal for the week.
