how many docker lovers in the house?? Why do you love it?

1. its docker nt a vm
2. woks everywhere
3. light weight
4. easy to use and deploy

just one question is anyone using it for production?

I wanted to use postgres. So I made a docker compose file and specified I wanted postgres which was 5 lines maybe 20 chars total.

That's how I got postgres in my app.

Planning on going to prod with it in a week. But having a hard time sometimes finding information and best practices.

@morgh I hope u r aware of that docker is nt persistent unless volume or shared folder are attached or docker commit is run.

digitalocean has a great tutorial on docker

I'm running gitlab in a docker container on an old laptop. It's fun not having to recode something after something bad happens to my computer

I love that I can take my application and all of its dependencies and make it easily deployable while leaving my base system minimum.

@rookiemaverick My app goes into production in a couple of weeks. I will be deploying around five containerized applications and using Ansible to roll out updated containers later on.

Setup my entire Dev environment in docker last week. Its amazing!

Simplifies build in a declarative way. Much easier to distribute and easier to pivot to different platforms.

- Gets rid of "works on my machine". If it runs on your machine, it will work 100% on prod also.
- you can use whatever language you need for the job (microservices)
- scaling
- easily revert to previous version if you need to

I wish I could run my life in docker containers...

@skonteam docker pull idanoo/life (I need to make a container called life....)
