Re: Docker

Ohhh finally someone has been able to catch the reasons why docker has been
and it is a great tool. I may agree that these reasons aren't heavily based
on the code's sophistication. But hey,who says that this is enough to
decide if a tool is useful and capable of reaching the critical mass of
people ? Docker can be used by non-skilled people,like me and many others.
Jails are good,technically well coded,but less known,they exude an
excessive technicality, unlike FreeBSD, which is more immediate to use (and
this seems to be a contradiction). For sure I don't want to import in the
FreeBSD ecosystem tools like there are in windows, where developers prefer
to sacrifice too much technicality in exchange to an exaggerated ease of
use. I don't want that tool to think for me. I use my PC to train my mind
to solve problems every day,but if those problems are too complicated,I
can't solve anything and I can't help no one to test how the development of
a tool is going. I know that many will disagree,but each operating system
has strengths and weaknesses because whoever creates it comes from a
certain cultural background and has fed them since its origins. Linux seems
to be the middle ground between ease of use and a certain amount of
complication in solving the problems it brings with it. Windows bores me
because it has too low a complexity level. FreeBSD has lagged in the
adoption of several technologies that came into linux and this makes it
intuitive to understand how to use it. If you don't want to adapt docker to
FreeBSD, at least the use of jails should be made more usable and immediate
for users who don't have much experience.
