I think packaging it up as a ready-to-use, cross-platform installable (which just happens to be in the docker container format) is better than expecting every desktop user to "install python3 python3-pip -y pip3 install pyspeedtest hurry.filesize tweepy". If the typical "desktop user" can't install one software with easily accessible installation instructions, is it reasonable to expect them to install 5 without?
- stephenr 9y agoI didn't say packaging is bad. I said expecting desktop users to install docker to run a 35 line python script is fucking crazy. You think someone who can't install python and 3 pip modules, is going to manage to install a Hypervisor, a Linux Guest, and Docker?
- ralmeida 9y agoMaybe. We taught our support people how to install Docker via Docker Machine, and while that is resource-intensive and sometimes they come with questions, it did reduce the complexity of deploying new internal tools to them.
