Anyone else struggle to understand #docker ? As someone who doesn't use it for any work-related reason, it seems completely unapproachable.

I just ran into the first project I'm very interested in which is *only available in docker*, and requires configuration changes before it can run. Every tutorial I can find feels literally like hieroglyphics.

Once docker is installed, it feels like implementation by obfuscation. Everything is just invisible so there is no clear way to do anything. If you run it, and it doesn't work, it's completely opaque. I pull down an image, no idea where it goes. No idea where to edit the yaml files. Been googling for an hour and nothing has helped.

I've been using #Linux now for 23 years and this is easily the stupidest I've ever felt.

@[email protected] my issue is that i tried using it as a vm first time and that left my brain rotten and incapable of understanding docker correctly.


its a "cli program that sometimes you can asign ports and some acces to your system in some config" more than a vm
