Unfortunately I think they are a good solution to "I don't really know how it works but if I use containers I don't need to learn".
Using containers is often more of a "quick hack" than a good solution, which is consistent with the feeling that the software industry is more and more becoming a big hack.

Was thinking that version skew might be another use case that's perhaps a little less pejorative. I can't tell if the OP method is sensitive to upgrades but this is another area where appropriately setup containers can insulate the functionality from the rest of the system.
- palata 2y ago> sensitive to upgrades How do you mean that? Can you provide an example situation where an upgrade could potentially be problematic?
