Comment on Should I move to Docker?

Another old school sysadmin that “retired” in the early 2010s.
Yes, use docker-compose. It’s utterly worth it.
I was intensely irritated at first that all of my old troubleshooting tools were harder to use and just generally didn’t trust it for ages, but after 5 years I wouldn’t be without.

I’m a little younger but in the same boat. There is some friction having filesystems, ports and processes “hidden” from your hosts programs that you typically rely on. But I needed them sooooo much less now that all my services are in Docker with exactly matching dependencies instead of rolling my eyes about running two PostgreSQL servers in different versions or juggling Python / node / Ruby versions with ASDF.

Yeah, so worth it! The first time I moved a service to a new box and realised all I had to do was copy the compose file and
docker-compose up -d… I was sold.Now I’m moving everything to Docker Swarm which is a new adventure. :-)
