I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

    So I can install whatever distro I need on the server for whatever purpose and not have to worry that it won’t run my Docker services.

    The one caveat to that is switching between something ARM-based like a Pi and an x86 server. Many popular services have ARM versions but not all do.

    Edit: In saying that, building your own image from source isn’t too complicated most of the time.
