Also, the author's explicitly makes the assumption that Docker is only appropriate once an application surpasses a certain level of complexity. I don't think that's a very good assumption. I think that it's perfectly reasonable for any open source web app with any dependencies to support or even encourage development and installation via Docker. I don't see why the choice to use Docker has any relevance to the complexity of the application.
- eevee 11y agoThe operative word is needs, since Docker is the only supported way to install this particular software. Which is, I cannot stress enough, a forum.
- baddox 11y agoSorry, I just can't buy into the dripping sarcasm of emphasizing that it's only a forum. Yeah, it's a forum. Forums are big software applications. It's not unreasonable to distribute the forum backend with Docker.
- mplewis 11y agoIt's only the most advanced, most thought-out web forum. It's leaps and bounds ahead of phpbb and Invision because the lead developer knows that details matter. That includes testing, automatic updates, spam protection, user experience, and all that stuff that old PHP boards suck at.
