This comment shows a remarkable lack of curiosity. You're not the least bit interested to know why so many people find tools like Docker to be valuable?

It does show empathy, though. Docker has its advantages, but the approach also has a lot of disadvantages which are not so obvious to junior developers. Isolation seems fun, but the interfaces (Unix sockets where anything goes) are extremely brittle. Version management seems simple at first, but will become horrible once old containers offer no upgrade path in the future, or when the free hubs from today will become…

One of the things that bit one of our teams of developers for about 6 years was the Docker Hub pull limit -- poor configuration (established in the early days of the project), and no caching would occasionally break our builds for a day when we hit the pull limit (because of course lets base our multi-million $$ project on a commercial third-party that we have no contractual arrangement with). Encouraging them to get a proper tech lead to sort out these things was a major win for me.

Ive had great success with Kanboard, but at BeamMP we use plane[0], self-hosted. Apart from the lack of github integration, it does the job for our small team. [0]: https://plane.so/

Can you share why you’re pointing this out?

> Is there something specific about the language that makes Python (or other language) more suitable with Docker for you, compared to PHP? Python has notoriously awful dependency management. One of the biggest appeals of Docker is that it lets you build the equivalent of a "fat jar" so that you get at least somewhat reproducible versions of your dependencies at runtime. For a language with decent dependency managemen…

I can't think of anything that Docker would give Python that pyenv and venv wouldn't already. Not that I wouldn't just use Docker for this, but those two help a lot when dealing with multiple clients who have different versions requirements.

I can give you one example from recent memory: packaging tkinter dev packages with your tkinter python app. Tkinter usually requires some system dependencies on top of python dependencies.

There's a typo in their Kubernetes installation docs (`ingress.host` referenced, when in fact that variable is `ingress.appHost`), and the link to the Contribution Guide here[0] 404's. Not exactly inspiring confidence :P
