As a developer, I often need to quickly build a development environment for small projects and Docker is a very convenient way to have a stable one up and running in no time. Today I want to share my starting point when I have to build an app in node/express and mongoDB.

Four years ago, during my PHP period, I released my first open source project: Fast titles. It was a small tool for importing Final Cut subtitles via xml. In fact (sounds strange) the most famous video editing platform in the world doesn’t have a system to import massively subtitles, you have to insert them one by one, one per clip. A big waste of time.
