Sure.

Don't ignore Docker compose. It allows you to set up a test/dev environment with dependencies between containers, shared variables/volumes, etc.

We could all just use cgroups to achieve containerization, but why? Docker is a great tool with a huge ecosystem of images at your fingertips, mature and powerful command-line interface, and lots of documentation/googlable discussions for even the most esoteric problems.
But yeah, I wouldn't use it in production.
