I have used Docker more than almost any other tool, and I have genuinely given it a fair shot. After all of that, I still don’t understand the appeal. Docker nearly seems to be an industry standard by now. Some people treat it like an obvious choice, but it’s not so obvious to me. People say that Docker can run anywhere. It solves the infamous problem of “works on my machine”. Despite what people claim, I have not found this to be the case. I developed containers on windows and then I still had to debug the containers when deploying on Linux. There were formatting issues, filenotfound issues, and chmod issues. I have spent so much time configuring docker, and been able to complete the same task in a VM in a fraction of the time. Am I alone here? Am I doing it wrong? Is it the case that I am not the intended audience, and it’s meant for larger teams?
