Late reply, sorry, forgot I wrote this.
All points taken! I just get frustrated because I figure if the developer is taking care of building a Dockerfile or whatever it is with all of that stuff sorted out for me, providing at least those build instructions as part of the README is enough for weird users like me.
Then I can spin up my own VPS/VM with the dependencies myself, which removes the entire black box nature of it.
I get that most people don't want to do that and indeed embrace the black box, but I've never worked anywhere where I could spin up a random application in Docker in any sort of Production or even near-Production capacity and say with a straight face I'd done due diligence in what was going on under the hood. (Maybe people don't use it for this ever though.)
I would probably be more on board if I'd ever had a single Docker experience that was just "install docker and run something" and it worked, but every single time I have run into problems.
Realised I forgot to include my references in my previous post. Again, appreciate these problems are probably old hat for regular users, but for people coming in cold they're just pains in the ass.
