I don't disagree with you, but for a single server hosting multiple projects with differing system dependencies, docker is amazing. I've come around to using it for this practical reason.
Using docker over direct installation always feels like an unnecessary interface layer that just complicates things and introduces points of failure.
Docker makes sense for several applications, but there's no intuition unless you're good at memorizing commands/command lines. I can't just open up an installer or fumble through it decently well enough to get up and running.
While a UI does add overhead, done well it's not bad. But also, different people learn different styles, and for the extra bit of resources, I'm willing to sacrifice a few MB ram or CPU utilization for less tinker time. However, 20 years ago I didn't mind spending that time learning stuff like that because I had a lot more time and way less commitments!
I mean you’re memorizing a GUI as well. I don’t work in this field at all but docker compose files are pretty straightforward even for me. Took like 15 minutes to figure out and now it’s much quicker to get set up than any other option.
