and in the real world you do configure; make install then ;) edit: or docker every one i've met so far, uses docker as a kind of "package manager". Database? Oh year use this docker image, elastic search & kibana? shure docker. What they actualy want most of the time is: an easy way to install this stacks, in an non ancient version, where i can actually use the stuff i need to use.

"and in the real world you do configure; make install then"

In the real world, one gets an existing RPM .spec file, edits it for the required source one is about to build, and then runs:

  rpmbuild --clean -ba software.spec
once one has RPM's there is no need for Docker, as multiple applications can be cleanly installed, upgraded or removed on the system, and the entire system can be automatically PXE booted and provisioned by Kickstart without a single line of glue code.

Say no to hacking with Docker and make install instead of formal system engineering.
