  • I've been using Linux daily since 2007 (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn). I've learned a lot, and there's some things I've never learned. Docker is one of those things that has been a problem. I also don't do a bit of programming.

  • I appreciate your confidence (and your docker evangelism), but I don't have the bandwidth to tackle a docker project right now. I don't believe I was ever building containers, as I was leveraging projects like DockStarter designed to make things more painless. I'm sure I'll try again sometime, but that time isn't right now.

  • Yes, complete lack of understanding. That is a problem when it comes to working with something. I don't understand python and venv either, but I got it working anyway in about 10 minutes. My experience with docker is that it had too many moving parts, particularly when it came to networking. It obviously seems easy to you and lots of other people, but it hasn't come easily to me. I'll probably need someone in the room with me to ever understand it.

  • I have a system that's been working well (except for this new thing I'm trying to add) for a couple years now. I am not looking yo replace it with docker (something that I have failed with in the past). Maybe next time my system breaks I'll take another look at docker.

  • Every couple of years I try docker again. I just fail to wrap my head around it. I have a local friend who got it up and running though, so maybe I'll have him hold my hand through it.

  • I don't understand a bit of this, but I got everything installed and running. Seems I have to 'activate' the venv and run the script from within it. Not sure how this works with the script auto running itself periodically, but I guess I will find out! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • A variation of this post pops up with ridiculous frequency on Lemmy.world. Just go find out for yourself what people are like on those other instances, instead of asking for 3rd party opinions here.
