Why do you say that? I can’t think of any reason a Deno project wouldn’t benefit from Docker more or less any other application. There’s an official Deno Docker image, so I wouldn’t say that not using Docker is a part of Deno culture.

But I could see the single executable being easier to use than Docker if you’re just trying to run a script on a home server!

The original commenter could be referring to Deno's permission system being similar to Docker's sandboxing, which could be true; I am not familiar enough with Docker to confirm that.

Personally, I tend to run my Deno/Node services using simple SystemD services rather than using docker or running the executable as-is.
