You’re right, it was 2014. I was there on HN when docker was announced by shykes. It was a godsend because I was getting bummed by the alternatives like LXC, juju charms or vagrant.

Here’s the announcement from 2013:

I still prefer LXC to docker. Improving libvirt and making virtualization a first-class OS feature with a library interface - vs. relying on an external tool and company interested in monetization - was and is the right approach.

That's why I love Incus. It offers all three so you don't have to choose. OCI app containers, LXC containers and KVM.
