a killer app would be docker

• klez 8y ago
  For a desktop operating system? I don't see why. Are there any use-cases of docker on the desktop I'm not seeing?

    Maybe the idea is that once you have docker, you have all the environments (ubuntu, wordpress or anything else). Is that how it works?

      Still doesn't answer GP's question - what's the point of Docker on a desktop OS? Why would you run WordPress on the desktop? The only real reason I can think of would be for developers.
      • projectramo 8y ago
        Well if you run Ubuntu, you would get Ubuntu desktop (Gnome or Unity or whatever it is now), right? But yes, I was thinking developers.

          At that point I may just be running Ubuntu, no?

        you can run your toolchain whether or not it already works on haiku

          Well, it probably won't anyway; we don't have Linux syscalls. So you wouldn't be saving any time trying to use containers.

      i means you can use it as a development machine and not have to rely on haiku team releasing every programming language and db version.
