I hate docker. Not because its a bad tech or anything, but because I don’t really know what its doing and I hate that.

@shebang You don't need to know how things work, you only need to consume.

@holot “No worries” it says, “I’ll just do everything for you in this thing.”

But then I have no idea how its put together :blobtilt:

An admin should know how their shit is done.

@shebang Docker is basically just a nice wrapper around systems that are already in the kernel.

@holot @shebang m.youtube.com/watch?v=sK5i-N34 I found this to be one of the more approachable introductions to containers in under an hour.

There is also this project, where “docker“ is implemented in a low line-count bash script github.com/p8952/bocker

@wes @holot I’ll take a look when I have to energy to argue with it. Cheers!

@wes @shebang
I think I've seen that before. Really makes you wonder if Docker is simply over-engineered.
