Having used Docker mostly as a packaging format for the past 6 months at my day job, I think it's a terrible format for packaging. I'm about to strip it out and go back to .debs. The current love of containers is a fad - they have their uses, but it is the new hammer for which every problem has been redefined as a nail. Docker solves some problems, but packaging isn't one of them - and it brings lots of it's own issues along for the ride as well. Admittedly, I haven't played around with other forms of containers more than a 'hello world', but my experience of container-as-packaging has been woeful so far.
