I love docker as a home user as well. Sometimes when I'm bored I'll build an IM bot. Docker makes hosting it super simple. I just start from the ruby docker image, copy my script in and then dump it on gitlab which will build and host the container which lets me pull it from my server. I can then copy a simple systemd config to start it on boot and restart it if it fails. This is all much simpler than managing multiple versions of ruby installed locally. Not to mention the security benefits of keeping it in a container. Perhaps this is all so easy and convenient for me because I learned docker for pro use and now its just mentally free for casual use.
