I wouldn’t recommend Docker for a production environment either, but there are plenty of container-based solutions that use OCI compatible images just fine and they are very widely used in production. Having said that, plenty of people run docker images in a homelab setting and they work fine. I don’t like running rootful containers under a system daemon, but calling it a giant mess doesn’t seem fair in my experience.

Docker is kind of a giant mess in my experience. The trick to it is creating backup plans to recover your data when it fails. As such, I don’t really recommend it to anyone at all.

Honestly it is fine assuming you don’t need 24/7 uptime. Just make a compose file and verify you have a working health check

Sounds like you are not using docker correctly.

Thats the trick for any production service. Especially when you do an update.
