Do you mind elaborate more on what's wrong with self-contained VM?
- davexunit 12y agoI'm confused by your question. I don't have any problem with VMs. Perhaps you thought I was pro-container, anti-VM?
- NhanH 12y agoOh, let me be a bit more clear. To quote the article > The main push of docker seems to be for completely self-contained applications, basically a super cheap and consistent VM. But VMs are a hack, and docker in many ways is just as hacky. So I just thought that the problem you have with Docker is similar to the author of the article (which is anti Docker/VM, since he dislike both).
- davexunit 12y agoOh, I see. I think VMs and containers are great for different reasons. I just don't like Docker. One of the cool features of Nix is that it can manage systems on bare metal, a VM, or a container.
