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.

@raineer I had similar feelings in the beginning. The learning curve is quite steep. At some point it made click and I understood and started to like it pretty much. Migrated my whole home network to containers by now.
