I tried Docker for a little while, just to see what it is. It seems like the authors never used UNIX before. Nonstandard argument format, some strange formatting in the manual page. And the idea of downloading random software from strangers from the internet and running it on your machine creeps me out as well.

- wereHamster 12y agoOf course nobody is running random images from the internet in production. You build your own. Building custom images is not rocket science. But to get started with docker it's incredibely easy to download an image and have something running within minutes.
- ewindisch 12y agoI run "random" images. However, I do so by only running automated builds with source code I can (and do) first audit. Some of those images, by the way, are official and provided by the application developer / org.
- nickstinemates 12y agoSorry you had a bad experience. When was the last time you tried Docker? As an example.. > Nonstandard argument format This has changed > some strange formatting in the manual page Also has changed > And the idea of downloading random software from strangers from the internet and running it on your machine creeps me out as well. So you don't use any sort of package management with the distro of your choice? BTW - you don't have to use docker the way you describe. You can `docker import` any rootfs to create a base image and only push/pull images you have created.
