A multilingual website I've been building for a while went live a few days ago. It's a pretty simple site from user perspective but somewhat challenging to build, esp. due to data org to ease site gen, and me learning some of the tech as I build the site.
Many fixes and features are pending, but I'm happy with the outcome and the initial reception. I'm also humbled by the opportunity to work with and learn from a great scholar in the subject matter, and pleased to be able to use my time and knowledge for a worthy cause. πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

AHA! #docker #nginx #mac Success!
After much logging and inspecting and reconfiguring you know what worked? (It's what always works!). Turning it off and on…
It's just a matter of turning the *right* thing off and on.
In this case, it was a matter of rebooting the webcam itself, which I really should have known because it has been unreliable at accepting new settings without a full reboot in the past. Weird that it was making the connection to NGINX but not actually sending data on that connection. The reboot of the webcam appears to have forced the data to be sent to the new proper docker address and on to Youtube.
Unfortunately I tried changing the stream key for Youtube before trying the webcam reboot which creates a new youtube URL, so I'll have to update my YouTube embed codes but oh well, it is worth having success with docker!
I feel much more comfortable working with docker now and understand the build/run workflow more now so I can start customizing my Dockerfile and be confident that I’m not going to miss anything.
Now I should be able to redirect all of my streams off of #footiMac and onto the slightly newer #imac2014 OR... most importantly, anywhere I have this docker container!
Woot!
Thank you everyone who gave tips and pointers along the way.

When I used to study Japanese, I would make a note in my phone of the words I was learning, screenshot it, and set it as my lock screen wallpaper. So when I looked at my phone throughout the day, I'd gain familiarity. It worked excellently! #languagelearning #learning

"The secret of numbers" is an excellent short video about the sense of numbers and quantities in humans and animals.
Overall, the "Be Smart" #YouTube channel is just excellent.

bam! Docker Mission Accomplished!
🫑
All webcam streams have been redirected from a single nginx process on #footiMac (which is also, of course, running this very mastodon #selfhost!) to their own docker containers on another iMac using Docker CLI/Colima.
I can already 'feel' the difference in response time for footiMac and posting/updating on mastodon! Yay!
