Hmm, but wouldn't that be sort of the opposite of the unix philosophy idea you promoted in the other post?
Julius {l Wrote}:Of course it might also just become another type of automated build process that pulls in hundreds of dependencies automatically... and which spits out a binary in the end but the process of how it got there is buried under so many layers of complexity that it isn't really possible to reproduce except with this specific docker compose file and referenced docker images... I have seen that happen and it reminded me of the bad old days of dependency hell
drummyfish {l Wrote}:I still don't really get what Docker is, but it sounds exactly like this -- another thing that enslaves and in the future probably kills your programs. I've never needed it, and I don't ever want to feel like needing it.
All this is described in an easy to understand text-file that you can share with others
with ease

Not at all, Unix philosophy is about programs working together, not depending on each other.
