> if Docker Inc. were to be bought out by Microsoft... You can always use Podman. We already have fully OSS solutions in the container space.
Call me when podman fully supports the Compose spec(so Docker compose V2)

Docker did do something smart with Docker Desktop by including wsl-vpnkit...to work around brain-dead corporate VPNs that break docker networking. Your alternative solutions don't work when AnyConnect or GlobalProtect, etc, are running.
This is only partially true, if _all_ traffic is tunneled over the vpn, then yes you’ll have this issue, but if the traffic is split such that only interesting traffic is sent over the vpn, then you won’t have this issue.

It seems to be working fine so I always wondered why it never took off. But I am not a Devop. Can sb please give some insight on why kubernetes took off instead and why Dock Inc. failed with its cloud product?
Good question, I'm also interested in the answer. Probably has something to do with K8s being backed by Google, which has battle tested it in the form of their internal Borg infrastructure.

Podman speaks the Docker API these days so you can use docker-compose with it.
With no support for starting containers on startup using `restart: always` or buildkit

Buildkit needs a full API implementation
I think we're past the point where key players like AWS have _ran with_ the technology Docker provided and did not pay their fair share in the process. Docker as a company may be a joke, but I don't think the software will be nearly as nice to use without them. I think it's ridiculous that so many asshats are jumping on the hate Docker (the company) bandwagon without understanding how much they have been taken advant…
No one will pay unless you force them. We can wish all we want that the world is different but I've seen this over and over. You need to hold something back from day one or you'll never make money.
I don't know if it needs to be held back, but the product needs to have innovation or it's going to feel like features are being held back and put a sour taste in the community's mouth.
I get the outrage. If it's pointed at Docker's inability to productize, then bravo, but I think AWS and the other big guys deserve most of the blame for taking tons of money on the table without contributing much to the state of the ecosystem. It's just tragedy of the commons with more steps.
At current average SaaS revenue multiples (6.7), Docker is on the cusp of Unicorn status.
It's weird to read comments about "poor, sad, dying Docker" given how ridiculously successful Docker's Desktop licensing scheme is.

Hacker News is a terribly designed website and just plain unreadable without zoom. 12px might have been the standard 15 years ago, but most sites use larger sizes. Gmail and old Reddit are using 14px. The New York Times and Washington Post are using 20px (and those are usually longer reads). The fact that you can zoom and override fonts does not give people a right to design unreadable/inaccessible websites.
>does not give people a right to design unreadable/inaccessible websites. They aren't as the rendering of a website is ultimately always controlled by the client/visitor. Any website whose semantic is only made of text is infinitely more accessible than another that would use bigger fonts but would include images or content that only render if javascript is activated. And ultimately, they have every right to make it…
This true in a technical sense, but not in a practical sense. If you want me to stay on your website, you'd better put in the effort to make it usable and readable. It's not the user's job to design the website, it's the job of the damn website designer!
I know I will get downvoted for this as off topic, but this is just the latest blog we've seen in this top 30 of many that show ZERO regard for legibility. Yes, I can zoom my browser, but c'mon. A 13px font for paragraph text is nearly hostile. It's not that legible to people with perfect eyesight, but then it's not at all legible to anyone with imperfect eyesight. It's like saying you don't care if anyone who reads…
I’m someone who had a front row seat to the emergence of Docker, and some might say competed with them (I’d disagree on that point). I don’t plan on commenting on their company, business model, or recent decisions. The only thing I want to comment on is the claim Docker was evolutionary, not revolutionary. I disagree, I believe Docker /was/ revolutionary. And I feel like I see heavy technologists make this sort of di…
