These youngunns and their docker containers..

It's fine and all, but I prefer to run stuff without them

    depends on your job role but for my job we have 1 project that's not containerized and each time we have issues with it I want to crush my fucking balls

    containerization is incredibly wasteful but it does solve some problems

    How is it wasteful?

    like flatpak. when you don't build all your containers on the same base image and shared layers, then you'll store lots of slightly different versions of the same libraries and other files, both on disk, and then in memory

    I see. I was more thinking in terms of CPU/RAM resources where it's far cheaper to just run a single process instead of a VM for it, etc.

    but containerization does not use VMs. containers share the same kernel, but userspace and resources are separated with namespaces. it has a very little overhead

    Yes that being my point. When you said wasteful I was thinking you were criticizing them vs VMS which makes no sense.

    Even the duplication of layers makes little sense as one, storage is cheap and two, even duplicated they far more than make up for it without needing VMS per.

    But then I also see you aren't op who I originally directed the question to.

    I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it's weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.

    I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.

    Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.
