Weak one. Let’s ideate on a better version
STOP DOING DOCKER
-
Virtualization was supposed to reduce the overhead, not create entire DevOps departments.
-
Years of containerization yet no real use over
make clean; make build -
Wanted to deploy your app in the “cloud” anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for it, it’s called
rsync -
Let’s run a virtual container in
--privilegedmode, so we can manage system resources from it – Statements dreamt up by utterly Deranged
Look at what tech interviews have been demanding your Respect for all these years. (These are real documentation examples for how a simple virtualization supposedly works)

Hello, I would like to put 20 Terabytes of “images” into my
/var/lib/, please!They played us for absolute fools!

Containers are a great way run applications.
Docker is a piece of garbage by a company way too far down the enshittification slide.
For real though, containerization isn’t the only way to separate applications from each other but totally fine, it’s the “It works on my machine, so here’s my machine” mentality that doesn’t fill me with confidence. I’ve seen too much barely-working jank in containers that probably only get updated when a new version of the containerized application itself is released.
I like containers. But they do have a habit of nurturing cludgy temporary hacks into permanent infrastructure, by sweeping all the ugly bits under the big whale-shaped rug.
Nix user arrives to the room.
Can you elaborate?
Nix can build you a bit-to-bit exact environment for your app. It is a superior environment, but is hard to use in the beginning and users can feel snobby sometimes. It is awesome, but YMMV.
If you’re doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.
That said, I’m a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I’m missing something from the dev experience… But I love containers.
Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.
Why is docker bad now and what makes pdoman better?
I see but I do wonder if docker has so many more cves partly because it has way more users.
It seems that Podman is more lightweight. Less code = less errors. And there are some architectural differences. But i’m only googling stuff.
If done correctly, it also forces devs to write smaller more maintainable packages.
Big if though. I’ve seen many a terrible containerized monolithic app.
I’ve seen many a terrible containerized monolithic app.
I’ve seen plenty of self-hosters complain when an app needs multiple containers, to the point where people make unofficial containers containing everything. I used to get downvoted a LOT on Reddit when I commented saying that separating individual systems/daemons into separate containers is the best practice with Docker.
Separate containers works like a dream when one app starts shitting the bed, gets auto-cycled, and everyone else just chills. Not surprised on the Reddit downvotes though. That place is so culty, especially now.
I don’t like containerisation because it leads to bullshit like atomic distros. I don’t want a spicy Android.
Steam OS has some cool elements like the menu, the in-game side panels and the game mode/desktop dichotomy, but incremental rolling release is utterly deranged from my POV as an Arch user (btw).
I use podman and have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Send help
I wish I understood this because it seems funny
It’s not that funny.
Docker is like a virtual machine, but you only run one specific program in it. About exactly what the meme describes.
Moral of the story: never make breaking changes. Always backwards compatible, always.
It’s worked for Windows?
When you’re 90% of the market you get away with telling everyone else to suck your dick.
hahahahahahaj I don’t know if it is funny because it is absurd or if it is funny because there are some folks out there that really think like that hahahahah
This meme format works best to absurdly overstate the uselessness of something you find mildly annoying. That’s when it’s funniest, because the criticisms are grounded in something real, and the low-stakes controversy makes the aggressive tone funny in context.
Why does this feel like it’s a flat-earth slide? I haven’t looked at any flat-earth propaganda, but I strongly suspect that it looks a lot like this.
That said, I’ll stick with my VMs regardless. I like simplicity.
Are VMs really simpler? I’d say no.
I was so relieved to never need VM’s again after discovering Docker.
The absurd waste of resources VMs bring… LXC and Docker a godsend in that regard.
