This sort of thing is the exact reason why I have been staying away from Docker for my projects.
Having one company be totally in control of runtime environments just isn’t robust. There are just too many scenarios where some issue they face internally could cause a massive disruption.
And when I looked I didn’t find any Docker alternatives, so I just stuck with plain old Bash scripts, rsync, running the app in Ubuntu.

I've come to loathe its design and anti-patterns. There's also just plain ridiculous stuff like making people signup for an account to download it on windows/mac
- mjgs 6y ago> Linux containers with LXD doesn't fit the need? It might do, I haven’t had the time to investigate. It was 3-4 years ago when I had to make the decision. I remember there was some open source tools mentioned on some websites, but I certainly didn’t get the impression it was very easy to get it working. I guess that was the appeal of Docker, they had done all the difficult part and created a product. But then it’s the ‘all eggs in one basket problem’, and other stuff you mentioned like the signing up for accounts etc. I had so many other things to learn and build at the time, that the extra complication of containers didn’t make sense. If I was in a situation where I was building out a fresh site I would for sure give LXD another look.
