There’s a lot more to an application than its configuration. It may require certain specific system libraries, need a certain way of starting up, or a whole host of other special things. With a container, the app dev can precreate a perfect environment for their program and save you LOADS of hassle trying to set it up.
The benefit of all this is that you can know exactly where application state is stored, know that you’re running the app in it’s right environment, and it becomes turbo easy to install updates, or roll back if needed.
Totally spin up a VM, install docker on it, and deploy 2-3 web apps. You’ll notice that you use the same way of configuring them, starting and stopping them, and you might not want to look back ;)
The most popular way of configuring containers are by using environment variables that live outside the container. But for apps that use files to store configuration, you can designate directories on your host that will be available inside the container (called “volumes” in Docker land). It’s also possible to link multiple containers together, so you can have a database container running alongside the app.
Just until they kill it as well
Of course
AFAIK they don’t allow passing content through jellyfin, or running a vpn through a tunnel. General web services are fine tho
This repo should be in some prominent position for new tech literate people so they can start contributing as fast as possible if they want to
Well he did just say designing, so lucky there. I’ll send over some wireframes, sure
