Pretty soon.
I'm not using docker because it's cool. I use it because it has advantages over copying an exe over to a VPS and calling it done. A few of the benefits,
- A Dockerfile in source control that has the setup I need for that exe. i.e. those commands you run by hand apt-get install openssl etc etc.
- Various security features such as usage of linux namespaces and cgroups.
- The ability to chose where I deploy, Azure webapps, Digital Ocean K8s, google, anywhere basically.
And don't have forget after you have setup a VPS you still have to maintain it, security patches etc.
