> This is definitely true, but only as long as docker (or $container_runtime) remains lightweight enough that you can still use those independent parts on their own, compatibly with docker.
As someone who has exclusively used LXC containers (which Docker is/was initially built on), none of this applies to me.
Your issue is with Docker, the implementation, not containers as a concept.
Sometimes I feel HN needs to get its head out of Dockers butt and see that there's a world out here too. How many people here even know there are other container types at all? I'm often inclined to think none.
No really. Just once try real, raw containers without all that docker wrapping bloat. How everything works and is tied together is just clear as day and obvious at once. It's all simple and super refreshing.
