What Are You Doing Right Now

I agree, it is an odd one with the amount of interest it seems to generate while being mostly non-applicable. It's cool technology but extra amazing as it is Linux-only and containers have been available for over a decade and no one really seemed to care until now. What makes Docker so interesting when Zones, Jails, OpenVZ and others have been overlooked for so long.

I used containers before they were cool? Is there such a thing as IT hipsters?

I was thinking of the people that argue that ZFS is always better than other file systems or that RoR is the only programming language that matters.

You mean it's not?

It is? Well shoot... now I gotta go learn a new programming language!

I think I messed up NodeBB...

What have you done!!

-
Well, it looks like it won't be until after Christmas before I get my gaming PC. Had to return my original one, then they were sold out so they just refunded me.
-
That sucks. I'm loving mine, even though it spends most of its time just downloading games for now.

@scottalanmiller On the plus side, I used my Rewards Card from BestBuy to purchase all of my companies Door Prizes for the Christmas party, so I have $150 in gift certificates coming to me to make the computer that much cheaper.

@hobbit666 Good... once you get your grips with Docker, write up a how to for the rest of us, lol.
I was but getting bloody confused now lol.
The main aim why i'm looking at this is an easy way of getting Zabbix, Unifi, Snipe-IT and possibly Screenconnect to run on a single Linux VM on a ESXi host.

Ha now I know who downvoted me
Did I downvote you? Let me check. Nope wasn't me. I just +1'd you to offset it though.

Why? It would be much simpler and easier to troubleshoot if you have them on independent VMs.

If you want to do that, it might be easier to start with LXC. They aren't as separated as docker (one app per container) and you can have a console in the container just like a normal system.
-
LXC mostly replaced OpenVZ and those two are generally considered far more useful than Docker for most companies and scenarios.

Posting from Linux.... and so the adventure begins.
