Fix Bash Error in Docker
I really enjoy working with Docker because it gives me more insight into creating and maintaining your own environments, mostly from scratch. I instantly gained a greater appreciation for Ops engineers, package creators, and other engineers who work on low level software. I think what I'm trying to say is that I've made a whole bunch of mistakes and completed an insane amount of Google searches for help.
One of the more basic errors I've recently encountered was trying to run a bash script within the container, only to get the following error: env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory. I was under the impression that bash was always a given in Linux machines, but apparently not in alpine images. The fix was adding the following to my Dockerfile file:
RUN apk update && apk add bash
Or if you're in the machine, just run:
apk update && apk add bash
That command installs bash and your bash scripts should then work!

![Event Delegation with MooTools]()
Events play a huge role in JavaScript. I can't name one website I've created in the past two years that hasn't used JavaScript event handling on some level. Ask yourself: how often do I inject elements into the DOM and not add an...
![Image Data URIs with PHP]()
If you troll page markup like me, you've no doubt seen the use of data URI's within image src attributes. Instead of providing a traditional address to the image, the image file data is base64-encoded and stuffed within the src attribute. Doing so saves...
Alternatively, you can use
ashinstead of bash.Not sure what the differences are, but I would expect parity on most standard features.
If the script is simple you can use the default /bin/sh shell.
