Oh no, I agree that it's not worth learning to package your "app" with docker that way unless you're planning to make it a big part of your processes, to reap the benefits. It's just excellent for replacing other methods of installing & configuring daemons you're dependent on, especially if you're already in a "doing things wrong" kind of space (and hey, you and me both). Very nearly all of my use of it doesn't involve modifying or customizing containers at all, and just lets me use one set of commands to manage packages across most platforms and pin them to my desired version without having to care much about the underlying OS, for dependencies like database systems, entire software packages that I don't need to modify aside from config (as in my personal use of it for things like Jellyfin and a Minecraft server), et c. My server at home runs Debian Stable. Very little of what I use it for is available in the official repos at all. Docker, though? They're all available at the latest version, with a bunch of older versions available too, just as easily. And if I switch distros out from under them, or upgrade Debian, nothing happens. I just run the same stuff, and it works.
