What's the point of using Docker for PHP apps? The main appeal of PHP for me has always been it's ability to work as a “serverless” execution environment, long before this marketing concept even existed, so hosting your own PHP on a cloud machine with Docker sounds really backward to me.

I always keep the host clean of any language, interpreter, tool, except for docker, and everything I run is ran within docker, I have multiple clients with multiple level of support and PHP versions needed, each project lives in its container

Using the "client demo" [1] - once a new project is added and a new board is added to that project, how do you add a list?

There seems to be just a blank canvas, basically [2].

Looks really good, great work! Anyone knows of something like this but for the terminal? I’m building a job searching app for the terminal and a main upcoming feature is to have application tracking within the app. It would be great to use a kanban system for it Thank you!

For terminal, for example this, made with Rust: https://github.com/yashs662/rust_kanban

Really like the look of this one, super cool

Programmers these days like to overcomplicate things for some reason. I’m as puzzled as you are.

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 tomorrow's subscription model.

I'm not advocating for PHP, but it sure made deployment of several websites on one machine extremely simple. Eventually version management destroyed some of the fun, which will probably happen with Docker containers as well, given enough time.

Java's application servers were initially also hailed with similar enthusiasm as Docker containers, and look at the complicated mess that has become.

To some, all that is old is new again.

For me the point of using Docker is that it's a unifies configuration and backups, and makes installation easier.

I can easily see which directories or files to back up, and it's fairly explicit which knobs I've tweaked or config files I've changed, regardless of what stack the app relies on.

It's also makes it much easier to roll back a version. Just take zfs snapshots of relevant directories before pulling new image, if it goes south just roll back snapshots and use the old image.
