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

    https://lemmy.world/post/12995686 was a recent question and most of the answers will basically be duplicates of that.

    One slight addition I want to add: “Docker” is just one implementation of “OCI containers”. It’s the one that broke through initially in the hype, but you can just as easily use any other (podman being a popular one) and basically all of the benefits that people ascribe to “docker” can be applied to.

    So you might (as I do) have some dislike for docker (the product) and still enjoy running containers.
