Basically Everyone Should Be Avoiding Docker


Why I don't do tutorials on the odious containerization system Docker.

People who are deploying a program for a corporation at a massive enterprise scale, don’t care about customizability and need some kind of guarantor of homogeneity. So for my purposes, when I’m instructing people on how to set up email servers, personal websites, little services, federated social media, etc., the only reason to use Docker is if you want to make things harder for yourself by having this extra and totally unnecessary layer of abstraction. So if you set something like BTCPay up without Docker, assembling the required interacting programs yourself, there’s a chance you might do something wrong or create a security flaw inadvertently.
