Why does everything require docker these days? Can I please run on bare metal without all your twisted dependencies?
docker pull <image name>
docker save <image name> > image.tar
tar xvf image.tar
Sure you can!
@sheogorath Ugh, yet more crap I have to install, then unpack... docker is slow as shit on this Raspberry Pi and it absolutely kills me that this is how software gets packaged now.
@nathand @sheogorath If you're willing to run things in Docker on a Raspi, it might be worth using https://www.balena.io/os/ or a similar docker-centric OS
I like docker for it's ease of use but yes, there's quite the overhead created by it
@brandon @sheogorath I think my principal problem is that docker is like snap, or flatpak or appimage. An entirely unnessicary complication of a process that wasn't complicated to begin with.
Docker just seems to add needless overhead without much in the way of benefits, other than junking up your server with more crap.
@nathand @brandon While I can understand your grieve and there are certainly a lot of situations it's not needed, docker itself doesn't make things that much more complicated.
It mainly configures your kernel. It uses unused/underutilized kernel features to isolate your processes. And it happens to be a glorified tar downloader. But besides that, not much docker is actually doing with applications.
