Ok
So, confession time.
I don't understand docker at all. Everyone at work says "but it makes things so easy." But it doesnt make things easy. It puts everything in a box, executes things in a box, and you have to pull other images to use in your images, and it's all spaghetti in the end anyway.
If I can build an Angular app the same on my Linux machine and my windows PC, and everything works identically on either, and The only thing I really have to make sure of is that the deployment environment has node and the angular CLI installed, how is that not simpler than everything you need to do to set up a goddamn container?
I pretty much share the same experience. I avoid using docker or any other containerizing thing due to the amount of bloat and complexity that this shit brings. I always get out of my way to get Software running w/o docker, even if there is no documented way. If that fails then the Software just sucks.
