This has rather strong “old man yelling at clouds” vibes. OP: Learn docker and it stops being an “impenetrable wall.” Face it, you don’t want to use docker (or podman) because you are set in your ways. That’s fine, but it is not an argument for anyone else.
I like docker because it makes it super easy to try out apps that I don’t necessarily know that I want and I can just delete it. I’m also confused about the claim that there is no config file… everyone I know uses docker compose, that’s really the only right way to use docker, using a single docker command is for testing or something, if you’re actually using the app long term, use docker compose. Also most apps I us…
it really does allow easy setup with compose, multiple containers, different versions, etc. I have been setting up linux servers and desktops for decades but docker made it way easier for a lot of things I still have email server setups I would never dare try to touch with docker, but I know it is possible like a lot of things it has its uses and it's really good at what it does

When I encounter a README/INSTALL that advises Docker, I start to suspect that the package is a mess. I'm sure there are legitimate usages within enterprise-y scenarios, but it has commonly become a way to paper over other issues.

Now I say all that, is there another solution I should be looking for doing similar things? Maybe this old man has missed something easier to use.
I do hate how Docker chews up my drive with images though...

I agree that it papers over underlying portability issues, but I personally don’t want to deal with some generous maintainer who built a good piece of working software but with no MacOS support.
Should this be titled "Basically everyone who doesn't know how to use Docker should be avoiding Docker"?
