Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing... Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it's just so much more convenient.

But never stop trying to understand and don't be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)
