> What's the point of using Docker for PHP apps? Same reason you'd use Docker for anything, why would it matter if it's Python, PHP or Rust? Is there something specific about the language that makes Python (or other language) more suitable with Docker for you, compared to PHP? (Personally I only use Docker when I start to deal with multiple hosts/distributed architecture, which doesn't happen a lot tbh)
> Same reason you'd use Docker for anything, why would it matter if it's Python, PHP or Rust? I would ask the same question if you were using docker for a Rust project btw. IMHO Docker mostly make sense when you have projects that require globally installed dependencies (like C or Python).

A globally installed dependency such as, say, PHP?
As such it makes little sense to deploy a PHP app on a dedicated server where you're responsible for the PHP server. Or when it is, it's because that you have many of such apps, but then deploying them all side by side with their own Apache/Nginx is going to be very wasteful.

Also available as a Docker image, for example: docker run -p 80:80 -t kanboard/kanboard:v1.2.8 https://docs.kanboard.org/v1/admin/docker/#running-the-conta... (that page has info about persistent storage, configuration and so on) Honestly one of the fastest and least "bloated" pieces of software in recent memory, way more responsive than something like OpenProject (which I use as a self-hosted Jira replacement for my…
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.
What about keeping the machine up to date to new distro release that inevitably comes with a new version of PHP that isn't compatible with the app ?
Don't get me started on setting properly php-fpm and any other reverse proxy.
All of those issue are gone with docker. You always run the right version of everything as it was intended by the developer (if they are the on that maintain the image)

> And yeah; how do you tink a 3-year old in 2050 is going to be able to setup his dev env? Dunno about 2050, but it wasn’t particularly difficult in the 1980s.
I guarantee it will be harder in 2050 than it was in 1980.
Doesn't bother anyone to just copy/paste an existing software and build it in Open Source?
Similar/inspired-by software is fine but if a commercial project were to rip off everything down to the style and design of an existing app it would not be okay at all, what makes it okay if it's open source?
