    Not everything needs to be deployed to a cluster of georedundant K8s nodes, not everything needs to be a container, Docker is not always necessary. Just run the damn binary. Just build a .deb package.

    (Disclaimer: yes, all those things can have merit and reasons. Doesn’t mean you have to shove them into everything.)

      Docker is the source of my secret nerd shame lol. I feel like I’m reasonably competent with computers - I’m no pro but I can install and setup Arch (BTW) without using Archinstall and stuff like that. But I just don’t understand Docker. I’ve read so many ELI5 guides and I understand in a really general way what it’s meant to do, but I just… cannot picture in my head what it’s doing. I don’t even know where it is on my machine! But I still have two apps that I run in Docker. They just… exist somewhere and if they ever break I’m lost.
