I use Docker for my single server because it (and its ecosystem) offers a straightforward path for: 1. Deployment 2. Distribution (I don't have to build a package for every platform) 3. Supervisory 4. Standard logging 5. Configuration management 6. Infrastructure as code 7. Process isolation (not perfect, but I can get some reasonable protection without managing VMs or figuring out how to roll my own isolation and permissioning) 8. Networking Basically I don't have to be a professional sysadmin but a "mere" engineer (yes, yes, in a perfect world I would have time to learn everything "properly", but for all its faults, Docker lets me build something useful Right Now). EDIT: For downvoters, I'd really appreciate more elaborate feedback.
