New corollary: sometimes new tech gets built because you don't know how to correctly use existing tech.

  Are you referring to this Nix effort or to Docker? Because that largely applies to most usages of Docker.

    Saying that Docker could be replaced by a simple script that does chroot + ufw + nsenter is like saying that Dropbox could be a simple script using rsync and cron. That is, technically not wrong, but it completely misses the UX / product perspective.

      Saying that nix is a simple script that does chroot + ufw + nsenter is missing the point even more

        Glancing over the UX/DX criticism is also missing the point. So I guess everyone in this thread is just looking at their own little world.

      I'm saying that all usage of docker that I have ever seen is as a laughably over-engineered schroot. Literally. It can probably do more stuff, but I haven't seen it.
