Crazy idea: stop using Docker.

[DaSHacka]

Never do by choice, distribution repos are good enough for me.

The bigger problem is when projects only officially ship as docker images for some banal reason.

[unhingedlife]

Then don't use those projects, or build them yourself, or use non-Docker options. I'm aghast that people think they need an expensive, bloated container runtime to run software. It's never been necessary.

As opposed to what? SystemD?

[johntash]

I think what he's probably thinking of is more like using a virtualenv for python. Or bundler for ruby.

[remram]

Yeah and installing it as a systemd service, which uses basically as much namespacing/cgroup/supervision/mounts as any other container runtime.
