Why not run it directly on the host machine during development, and run the docket image on the servers? This is the approach that I usually follow and it has worked fine for me so far. I need to build the Docker image locally only if something breaks down in the build pipeline.

Doesn't that sort of kill one of the main selling points of using docker in the first place?

Consistent environment on local, test and prod servers?

I think they meant using a remote development server instead of spinning up a VM locally.

There was a post a few days back about using a NUC as a powerful remote (over LAN) development server

Well, their selling point was that it was easier to develop on locally. We weren't even running Docker in production.
