While the info is kinda useful, the writing style reminds me of Stan, the salesman of Monkey Island.

He is ranting whilst judiciously admitting that he doesn't understand the reasoning behind most of it (eg namespacing and port mapping.)

She. (Unless you're referring to Stan.)

I don't think this is ranting. It reads to me more like a formatted dump of someone's evaluation notes. Some stream-of-consciousness is to be expected.

It's probably not wise to post it in that case.

It's like "I bought this car and it has this engine and stuff and I have to put oil in it. I'm not sure why but why can't it just run on sunlight? And why do we need 4 wheels because I heard that bikes can travel around 2. Not exactly sure why but that must be better."

Admit I'm a Docker fanboi but I don't think you can simulateously analyse and critique something when you admit you do not understand it.

I love that she posts stuff like this. It's not meant to be a review of anything, it's a journal of how she learns things, and I've learnt a lot through her writings because of it. Docker is confusing and almost everything written about it is written by those who have already achieved enlightenment so to speak, instead of by those who are in the process of achieving enlightenment.

Personally, I really like her writing style. She's very honest about the things she doesn't know, which I find a lot easier to relate to than blogposts by some random internet gurus. Behind the self-deprecation she has a lot of really interesting things to say and is really enthusiastic about learning new technologies. Her full archive is well worth reading.

While this thread has visibility, I am curious about your typical security model with docker.

From my experience, whoever is running docker seems to be able to run root commands on the host [1].

So any best practices for running docker ?
