  Hosting things in docker separates then from the OS and makes upgrading safer and easier.

  Eventually, you’ll want to update your OS. If the software is right on the OS, you might break it. If it’s in docker and the machine breaks, run the container on another machine.

  If you upgrade your software and it breaks, in docker you just go back to the previous container. It’s still there and hasn’t changed. If the software is on your OS directly, an uninstall and reinstall might work, but might not.
