The docker engine, however, is perfectly suited for production. I've been using it in this capacity for years. There is a huge difference between these two products, though, including how one interacts with them. "File sharing" plain and simple is not a thing with properly-designed production docker systems. Nor is a GUI management layer. | |

| Jun 15, 2017 at 22:07 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @JohnO: Context matters. Server Fault exclusively cares about production use. If your use case is developing or testing (Docker is often used for this and it's the only viable use for Docker/Mac to begin with), your question is off-topic and Stack Overflow is a better place for it as that site also deals with dev tools in general. If your use case is production use, you should have made that clear. | |
| Jun 15, 2017 at 21:33 | comment | added | John O | It's not even slightly a development tool. It doesn't compile, it doesn't let you edit, debug, or do any of the other things that is development. It lets you deploy already written, complete software packages... 100% system administration. That's its primary use. In that a software developer is supposed to finish a software product and provide it in usable form to other people, it's slightly associated with development... but in that sense, so is all modern software. I challenge anyone to explain how I am wrong in this. | |
