We've tried to use Docker a couple of times, but it was always much more trouble than it was worth. It was always some edge case that caused it to not work as expected one developer machine or another.
After about 2 years of giving it another shot on and off, we just gave up. And it's not like we were doing something crazy, just a typical documented "run this rails app" type thing. I would definitely not use this in production for anything based on my experience.
- sjellis 10y agoWere you using Linux developer machines? Docker, Inc. provide ready-made installers for Windows and Mac - the Docker ToolBox makes setting up on those OSes very easy these days. I haven't tried the new products that replace ToolBox yet. I can imagine it being harder on some Linux distributions because your host system will have to have all of the kernel bits etc. Ubuntu 14.04 and above or current versions of Fedora should be good - the distributions explicitly support Docker, and Docker, Inc. provide packages so that you can run either the distribution packages or the Docker, Inc. ones.
