      Fun! I've had a bit of a rough relationship from Docker, but I've found that things I had trouble with were usually because I was trying to force it to do something it wasn't really supposed to (i.e. running multiple services in a single container). It's a really useful tool, and learning it in my spare time has been handy for having it in my toolbelt at work, so I definitely recommend keeping on it for a bit.

          Yup, exactly. I was mentally stuck on avoiding Docker Compose. I didn't want to have to learn what I thought would be an entirely new tool (which, to be fair, it kind of is), but once I submitted to not being able to set up the network bridges myself, I pulled up some tutorials and was up and running very quickly.

          For me, learning Docker has largely been an exercise in reading the manual first instead of trying just get it to work.

    I run Docker at home with FreeIPA to manage everything centrally. Docker is good when you don't have a lot of money and you want to spin up several Network applications on one box. Xenserver is another alternative but Docker is a lot less overhead.
