[CR007]

I distribute server-side software and it was a pain to provide the infra requirements. At higher level users easily miss what is yours and what's another tech, they just don't care to tell the difference. Is not a matter of documenting, is just not their concern.

That drives many issues and it becomes a snowball soon as inexperienced users start to vent bad practices. In a effort to help other users they often spread more damage.

With Docker I was able to take charge of the infra, which erased all the uncertainties on my next layer but it spawned the uncomfortable need of learning Docker to use my stuff, which users took very reluctant.

The best distribution method is to pack a binary release. Not only the package is lightweight, it doesn't need any fancy instruction. You can keep Docker for your internal use, don't ship it to end users.
