Yep and I also want to add that you can use compose.yml to limit the CPU and RAM utilisation of each container, which can help in some cases.

You’re doing i right. Playing cool games with your kids sounds like a blast and some great memories :)

DDD is great until you need a houseboat.

Yes, I get lab burnout. I do not want to be fiddling with stuff after my day job. You should give yourself a break and do something else after hours, my dude.

BUT

I do not miss GUIs. Containers are a massive win in terms because they are declarative, reproducible, and can be version controlled.

Docker in and of itself is not the problem here, from my understanding. You can and should trim the container down.

Also it’s not a “whole nested computer”, like a virtual machine. It’s only everything above the kernel, because it shares its kernel with the host. This makes them pretty lightweight.

It’s sometimes even sometimes useful to run Rust or C++ code in a Docker container, for portability, provided you of course do it right. For Rust, it typically requires multiple build steps to bring the container size down.

Basically, the people making these Docker containers suck donkey balls.

Containers are great. They’re a huge win in terms of portability, reproducibility, and security.

It’s a hypothetical file format for lossy video transmission.
