> People say that Docker can run anywhere. It solves the infamous problem of "works on my machine". Linux containers do that, not Docker. However, that statement isn't as universal as some readers might think. Linux containers are just that, for Linux. In all reality, it also depends on how the host kernel has been configured if you want two containers to run the same way. Windows has Windows Containers, and the BSDs have jails. They're all quite different because their host operating systems are all quite different. Windows and MacOS are usually running Linux containers in a hypervisor. Docker when juxtaposed to manually burning container images and standing up containers as they exist from LXC is extremely useful. It also inspired the growth of the Docker Runtime.
