Comment on What Does a Post-Google Internet Look Like

If you don’t want to pay to access a web search service, just use docker

IMO: My personal problem with Docker is that it creates its own kind of vendor lock-in. Docker does not run on the server operating systems I use. The tendency is towards a Linux monoculture and that is never a good idea. Docker is a symptom, not a solution.

Is it really vendor lock-in if you can fork it at your whim?

  forking doesn’t really help with the underlying problem that docker is a layer to run on top of Linux’s KVM. at a certain point though, it’s become standard enough though that BSD not having a good way to support docker, or any other CRI containerization service for that matter, is a BSD failure, not a containerization failure

    My understanding is that this is only true for docker desktop, which there’s not really any reason to use on a server.
    
    Sure, since containers use the host’s kernel, any Linux containers do need to either have Linux as the host or run a VM (as docker desktop does by default), but that’s not particularly unique to docker

podman exists and doesn’t force root…

  That’s true, but all of their problem with docker are that it’s Linux
