My experience is working across many machines, all the major OS’s, and assisting many developers, flexing many features of Docker, usually operating behind VPN’s, for several years. This isn’t a “my machine” situation. Listening to a stranger on the internet describe how awful this technology is, I can only assume from my experiences that this is a “you” problem. I think that even if you disagree with me, that assessment is fair given the circumstances of us being strangers discussing this over the web with limited ability to share specifics regarding your issues.
I believe that you’re experiencing issues, I’m just unable to understand how it’s Docker’s fault from what you’ve shared. Again, this is based on a lengthy history working directly with, and enjoying the ease of, the parts of Docker that you’re calling problematic.
I don’t want to argue. I do believe you’re experiencing issues and I understand that deadlines don’t care about them! Instead of continuing here, what do you think about ending on this?: The next time you run into one of these issues, would you mind sharing it in a Docker focused Lemmy and tagging me? I’d love the opportunity to see if I could assist in some of the issues you’re having. Maybe I could help, or at least learn why these problems you’re describing are not impacting me.
Its not docker’s fault, its the fault of the stack of crap that is needed to run it(WSL and co). My point is that it isn’t worth the trouble. I could figure it out myself, but dev containers don’t bring enough value to my team to justify the investment, and I really dont want to spend a bunch of time troubleshooting issues related to it not just for myself, but for everyone on my team. I played that role before, and it is exhausting to have to do that on top of the other things I need to do.
Docker is really great for CI, for deployments, etc. I really like it, and i have spent a significant chunk of my career developing expertise in it. Its not something I would recommend locally unless you have no other choice, or you’re running Linux and are able to use it natively.
