Hi fabo,
No church .... here ...
Just a technical view ... enter in Docker (inside) ... and look at ... it's a LXC manager ... don't do a common mistake to get a "user visibility" for "the content itself" even if version after version ... they try to hide this ...
The ONLY interest for ALL company is :
sail services ... so it's ALWAYS more interesting that "Open Source free sharing project" ... and it's true not only for Docker ...
So company can offer partial or previous version in Docker ... to catch customer ... I have nothing against this ... just that people can things that it's a security approach when it's exactly against security. It's an Apple, Microsoft, IBM and others approach ... "trust me, trust me ... said the snake ... "
BUT you are free to promote, sail, applause, etc. Docker and it's
100% your right and respectable opinion ...
Docker IS NOT A BAD product ... it's a good job but with a clear target announced on the Web site ... sailing services and hub
Syno ... and other (including certainly Asustor) ... want to sail box and bigger is the box better is the company result
... so docker is exactly a "fashion product" ... that target this point ... consuming ressources and customer (not consumer) infantilisation ...
I use Chroot, LXC, Docker and others tools like this, from the a long time ... (depend of arrival of each
) ... and I can have only a too personal point of view ...
BUT I encourage you and people liking Docker and other tools ... to be active as possible to get it, have it, port it ... I will be ready to be the first tester of any solution you provide for community ...
I can understand that at job ... you think it's not a political approach to don't know what is in a product but just as a consumer to use it ... But please don't consider that other are not, like you, in the "computing job" ... unfortunately or fortunately you are not alone to work everyday ... and I never said you have a "biased" view ... but using Docker without knowing risk ... if I follow your jugement ... are certainly biased no?
I am only,
and no more than, a community member sharing his small work (really poor compare to ... professional like you) ... and YES I can look at others brand ... I have ... to play with ... Synology, QNAP, Asustor, WD NAS ... (I am a little stupid collector) and some other servers and desktop ... so it's NOT because a sailor said me, my software (or hardware) is a "horse" that I can not be able to see that inside it's "donkey" even if it's more interesting to present a "horse" ...
Don't be worry ...
I stop anymore speaking about this ... if Asustor only get out Docker ... no problem at all ... because I can use LXC if I want (even by porting lxc tools myself) ...
If Asustor get out LXC, Docker and perhaps LXD or other ... I also applause and use it ...
and if a "professional" using every day solution ... said it's the best ... I said also yes you are true ... it's not a contest ... and I am sure that millions of peoples are better than me ... and for this community sure that lot of them don't like and never use what I try to share with us ... I work on this for my pleasure not for winning anything ... just game , play and smille ...
So even if Docker can be manipulate (for me) with caution ... I have write a (too long) document "a cookbook" for how to use it ... for the community of another NAS brand ... so I don't be against it ...
Have a nice day ...
Philippe.
NB certainly you are NOT attach to Docker ... BUT me I am attached to ... "Open Source" and "Sharing" approach ... so automatically not impartial ...
