But that sounds exactly what GP is doing, "I am in the process of dockerizing almost everything in sight." Why do you need Docker to run a WAMP server?

Why do you need Docker to run a WAMP server?
- beatgammit 7y agoYou don't need it, but it certainly helps you know what your environment is so you can upgrade/patch one piece at a time without affecting everything. Need a new libc for your database? Feel free to upgrade it without worrying if your webserver or plugins will break. Also, you can more exactly replicate your production environment on your local development machine or replace production if the machine dies. I love docker for anything where I'm not going to be running whatever is in the repository of whatever Linux distribution I'm running.
- johnchristopher 7y agoThat WAMP server is serving multiple virtual hosts. We now need to be able to migrate some services living behind those hosts under different stack versions. Some services are production ready and can be deployed with a more recent LAMP stack but some can't. I don't have an infinite number of servers to put all those services on but I do have the resources for containers. Reminder: when that WAMP server is down (which is an issue all by itself, the physical server has downtime as well), everything is down. Even static websites.
