I'm sorry, I really don't get it. What do you need Docker for? Let's Encrypt and Nginx give you practically full cert automation. Maybe there's some crucial bit

I'm sorry, I really don't get it. What do you need Docker for? Let's Encrypt and Nginx give you practically full cert automation. Maybe there's some crucial bit of information I'm missing here?

I am running RancherOS and Rancher where I have everything as docker images. Easily manageable and updateable. Using docker-compose automation, but in my setup with nginx as reverse proxy I have a lot of configuration options, and am a programmer at heart, not a DevOps guy. Don't know yet if I can use this out-of-the-box, but it will certainly save me a lot of time having it all together.

I don't get it either even if one uses Docker. I use jails on FreeBSD but, otherwise, I have the same set up that does the same thing by just configuring what comes with all that so I don't understand the point of this.

  Can you have a self-contained pre-built FreeBSD jail that you can fire up without doing additional setup? Like a prebuilt Docker container with all the necessary stuff already installed.

    I'm a professional. I don't need someone else to configure my system tools for me.

      For differing values of configuration, yes you do, via scripts you rely on. Your build process based on others' scripts is the same philosophy.

        I think you're talking about something else. I'm talking about set up and configuration of these tools and servers. Other people's scripts may read those configuration files and apply them but it is the config itself that I do on my own. Even then, I sometimes edit those build scripts if they don't do what I want and I just need something customized. If some other tool set all that up for me, I'd never know how to do it or I'd have to learn it anyway, negating the need for this tool in the first place.

      That's pretty rude.

      Professional doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself, this saves time so you can do the important stuff that can't be automated.

        You only do it once. Then you do everything to this tool that it, too, will need; adjust as necessary. When you do your own config, you know what's going on and how to fix and adjust. And it's one less tool you need to learn and maintain.
