Starting to hate Docker. Download open source project, there's a docker-compose.yml to run it. All the configuration is in docker images on dockerhub, not in the fucking project. Deleted.
@Moon many such cases. Technically you could take the time to split it all out and remove the need for docker but what a pain in the ass.

Containerization is a net good, but docker popularity has resulted in halfwits considering docker images as equal to software packages.

@thatguyoverthere @Moon containers for most resonably well coded things a dedicated unix user would be enough separation.

unfortunately most things aren't coded reasonably well now and instead are depending on all kind of specific bullshit so that you need bespoke docker setups.

i guess i only want my 2005 linux back xD

@bonifartius @Moon a lot of people using docker as a package manager don't even seem to really appreciate dependency management. "It works in the container" is good enough. I think that's also kind of why there is almost never any good documentation.

@thatguyoverthere @Moon didn't docker start as something like vagrant? reproducible development environments because things already were quite bad in terms of portability. turns out that making it easier to write unportable software doesn't make things better..

@bonifartius @thatguyoverthere it was always meant as a production deployment thing in addition to being used for reproducible build environments.
