Thank you. Do you normally setup your dev environment inside a container? Or you do development as usual and then when coming to deployment, you deploy your app into the container?

Thanks, this is good info. For NodeJS and Rails, I use nvm and rvm, so didn't have any problem with multiple environments. But yeah, I see your point that Docker can help in such scenario or when there's no equivalent of nvm/rvm.

Can someone tell me what's the point of this? (I seriously love to know, not criticizing it.) Why would I need to have docker containers to install stuff on them instead of just installing stuff directly on host?

Let's say I develop a new web app, I would install NodeJS, PostgreSQL and such on my machine. Before I deploy the app for the first time, I'll install them in the necessary servers. Now, it looks like I would need to do the same, except adding the step of building Docker containers.

I think I must miss something important here because the number of GitHub stars for Docker is impressive and this is usually a good indication of the usefulness of the project.

Did you really read the whole thread? I see both sides are being defended here.

Frankly, I'd rather he splits, half to Gates and another to Musk. The world needs more than just one brilliant guy to know where money can be best spent.

Did those 600 million people work at all to be out of poverty or the invisible hand fed them? If they had to work to get out of poverty, I would imagine $100 would buy them enough meals, sleep, medicines to start looking for a job.
