Funny, an article got posted here just an hour ago advocating against treating Docker like a package manager: http://vilkeliskis.com/blog/2015/09/23/docker_is_not_a_package_management_tool.html http://vilkeliskis.com/blog/2015/09/23/docker_is_not_a_packa... I'd be inclined to agree. The reductionist sum of mechanisms that make a Linux container have always been about detaching, multiplexing and partitioning kernel resource subsystems. Docker was the first program that really hyped it into the idea of being about application deployment, but I fear this gives people wrong impressions and makes the mistake of treating an emergent property as if it were a fundamental.
