Docker is cool and all.
Kids these days don’t know anything about Tmux and port 433. Exposing localhost to the internet and getting your internet monitored by your ISP and getting letters in the mail; for hosting movies and Storage services.
Lol.

This was a step up for novice sysadmins/developers from "FTP to the webroot" without having to learn real deployment tools, how to write init scripts, etc. Of course it wasn't good enough for anything business critical, but I'm sure it happened there too.
Also, if you then wanted to access that service from your college network, who may have gone out of their way to block gaming, a common workaround was to host it on port 443. By 2010-2015, colleges were using DPI sophisticated enough to see that "that's not http traffic" on port 80, but tended to treat 443 as "that's encrypted, must be a black box". That's how I ran mine in ~2013.
The way ISPs catch you is by seeing that you're connecting to IPs that are known to host content illegally. There's now way for your ISP to know what's going _out_ of your port 443 without breaking TLS.
They care a LOT about what you're serving to other people from their network though as there might be some legal issues directed back at them.

> Well-known TCP port 433 (NNSP) may be used when doing a bulk transfer of articles from one server to another.
