Docker Reviews

It allows me to install software that otherwise the installation procedure would be too complex. I also use it to provide isolation between different software, like using different Python versions.

I don't like the procedure to create a new image, sometimes is complex. Security is also not easy to manage, since in most docker images lot of tools are disabled by default so it is hard to make updates, you have to update the base image.

containerized your big application into a small docker image.

Some versions of Docker allow all network traffic on the same host by default which is unrestricted traffic.

The best thing about docker is docker cloud. You can host your application in docker cloud and share with your teammate or make it public which make it extremely helpful to install your application in literally any system without worrying about the system dependencies. Lots of contributors are there in docker cloud. Also helps you in improving your software infrastructure by isolating your application micro services.

Not more documentation about different ways to deploy application.
Not good documentation about different commands you can run on docker-compose and their dependencies.
Some time you feel stuck while solving particular problem and you find no help in the internet.

Once I started using this.. I cannot see myself developing apps without it! I use it mostly for personal use, all my homelab apps are on Docker :)

The pricing can put you off if you choose to use this in a professional setting. But its money well paid.

The best feature I like about docker is that I can encapsulate work in a container and deploy it anywhere like Azure Container Instances, Amazon EKS, Digital Ocean or even my desktop. I like to create containers with python + security tools like SSL Scanners and deploy them near the servers to test and outside the servers to test to have an accurate picture of what's supported. It also helps with powershell core since you can create docker container with specific modules and give them to co-workers so they don't have to install the modules on their PCs. I also like integrations like Trivy that come built-in to docker desktop so you can scan the images for vulnerabilities and also like Slim.AI to make images smaller.

The recent licensing changes made me discover Podman and switched a few workloads already.

I used Docker to set up an EMQX MQTT broker for a project I was working on. My final review is that Docker is a useful user-friendly software that allows you to easily create containers with specific environments for specific tools. Before Docker developing apps may lead to different bugs in different environments because of compatibility issues. With Docker that problem is gone. Docker (and containerization in general) will very soon become the base knowledge that every developer must know. There are only a couple of commands or concepts you need to be familiar with in order to solve most problems. To create containers, most codes are already online at specific websites, so you only have to copy and past them.

Be aware Docker images are heavy and they will slow down your computer.

The ultimate solution for deploying applications. You no longer have to say "but... it works on my computer", because you can basically deploy your computer. It helps immensely in teams that are using different systems for developing.

Learning might take a little bit longer than with other GUI based virtualizations tools, but it is definitely worth it.

Without any fear of favor, docker remains a front-runner when it comes to containerization. Have used docker for some years I can say it's a defacto tool when it comes to software development and it does its job quite excellently.

There's nothing to like less about docker within the context of my usage.

What i like the most is that it is very easy to use and setting up the application becomes very convinient

There is nothing much that i dislike about docker but sometimes continerizing applications become tedious

i like the standardization of envs that docker offers, we can try a product and be sure it will behave the same way in production. seamless updates and much more!

the docker workflow can be difficult to learn, but when you become proficient in it, its smooth sailing

Simple tool for the job, I like the compatibility better when searching for a particular version

I don’t have something that I don’t like

its very easy to use, easy to intigrate

it is low storage product, some time the network confiration issues is hapnning

The ability to quickly have my developing environment running on my machine without having to go look for all the installers I need.

What I think it's missing from Docker is the ability to export a container so that another person can import it, so that some information can be shared by a team.

The flexibility it allows to the user with regards to the use case.

Docker can be somewhat difficult to use at first. More resources that are easily accessible could be helpful.

What I like the most about Docker is its ability to create insolated containers of workflow, which gives me the power to monitor instances with ease.

There isn't much I dislike about Docker, but maybe they could create a cloud version of it.

I appreciate Docker because it allows me to quickly and easily deploy applications in a consistent environment, no matter the underlying infrastructure. Its containers package applications and their dependencies together, making it possible to deploy them in any setting such as on-premise, cloud, or hybrid. Moreover, Docker makes scaling applications easy by replicating multiple containers. Additionally, it offers an efficient way to manage application dependencies and isolate applications from each other, simplifying the process of troubleshooting and maintenance. To sum up, Docker is an ideal tool for quickly deploying and managing applications in a consistent environment.

One of the things I least like about Docker is that it can be difficult to troubleshoot, especially when it comes to networking issues. Additionally, it can be a bit clunky to set up and configure for more complex applications.

Some challenges we are facing in implementing our project in the production environment, not meeting every compatibility and version we are using in production, so docker came up with this solution where we make one image with all our version control and it works on direct development so this is amazing about docker, it has many features and we have GUI also for docker were we can manage our docker images and maintain that thing we are implementing in our image

We face some issues while using docker is, in the beginning, we are working with docker CLI where we need to remember their commands so this is hard in beginning but after use, we are familiar with this, docker GUI version is very big so t take too much memory for control that thing, we also have another product which makes easy of that thing is portainer, you can check out this also

Docker is one of the best product for easily deploying containers and maintaining images it helps a lot in development process and the maintenance is also very easy.

There is nothing that I dislike about Docker.

I can easily containerize my application and put all the dependencies in this container and after publishing this container in the docker hub, I can create images and use the application anywhere I can test my application on different environments and the only thing that I ever need will be docker installed on the device where I want to run this application.

There's not a single thing that I dislike about Docker.

Its easy to use Kubernetes and the containerization functions of the software.

Can be a bit intimidating for a first time user.
