Every hosted application should be a Docker container **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mahesh W. | Founder, Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker is one of the most useful tools you could use if you're developing hosted applications or you're simply running a headless homelab. As a developer, my work has gotten so organized and easier since I started using Docker. Features like docker-compose have made the integration of web applications with Docker so smooth. Docker is so useful that it has become a day-to-day tool for me even on my local desktop. I usually test all my work inside Docker containers instead of the dev PC. Pro tip. If you are a new user and you would rather work with a GUI instead of CLI, the first thing you should do is start with Portainer right after installing Docker. Portainer will help you massively when managing Docker containers or swarms/clusters. The most amazing thing about Docker is that the environment isolation without emulation. I have tested so many applications inside a Docker container that would've destroyed the host system. But since it was merely a container, simple recreation would wipe everything and start over. Docker as a service does not hog any of your hardware resources. Docker implementation on every platform is so easy to use that it only takes a few simple commands to get started. I only wish that tools like Docker were available to me in the earlier days of my web development. You can take Docker to the next level using QEMU. I use these two in combination with a lot of my CI testing and build processes. Docker can be a godsend if you plan on building your applications for multiple OS and architecture targets. **What do you dislike about Docker?** I know Docker containers are meant to run a single service per container. But sometimes there's the need to run services with systemd which is pretty difficult to achieve with Docker. I have always struggled with this and I wish platform containers would allow this. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Testing with environment isolation and the possibility of integrated microservices. This allows me to run anything on a server without harming the host and possibly needing to start over by wiping everything. This also helps me to selectively allocate resources per each service that I would like to host. ### 9. Docker- A goto containerization for dev apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** sai rakesh k. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2025 **What do you like best about Docker?** Ease of deploying and testing the apps and deploying on different ports **What do you dislike about Docker?** image size usage will be high if not kept in check with minimal base package **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps to solve deployment of dev apps on rapid scale to test out different prospects of business ### 10. Containers are great! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Being able to quickly spawn an environment with all the tools I need without clogging up my main machine is incredible! I use this all the time when working with large software projects. **What do you dislike about Docker?** The default network Docker provides is missing DNS names for containers. I'm not sure why they make the default network worse than it has to be. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** When working on software projects I often have to install a ton of libraries and random tools. These add up and cause conflicts with one another with, for example, conflicting versions of Java. Being able to make a container that has just the right tools is awesome for letting me develop in a way that keeps my PC clean from all these dependencies. ### 11. The best way to development and distribute your applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Albert H. | Company Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** I've been using docker for more than 6 years and continue using it each day to develop and distribute all my apps, the community around docker is awesome, and there are many ways to integrate with multiple systems like Windows, Linux, or mac. The implementation is so easy using the command line, a few commands and you get Docker installer. I continued using docker and never considered changing it. **What do you dislike about Docker?** To manage containers at scale in production you need additional tools like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm, with can add complexity to the infrastructure. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Develop and distributing apps, for example I push the lastest change to my repository and then integrate this with github actions to deploy a docker image in production. ### 12. docker is a best platform for deploy your application **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pravesh G. | Artificial Intelligence Intern, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** i think docker is best platform to deploy or host your applicaton with the help of docker we easily deploy our application without any troubshooting of dependencies or versions. its make easy my work. thank you docker **What do you dislike about Docker?** i think only one thing that wrong with docker is that its not competable with all OS. like if you are using lower version from window 10 you can't use docker. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** I once encountered a problem when I tried to deploy my Streamlit application. I faced issues related to versions and dependencies. After reading about Docker, I created an image, then a container, and successfully deployed my application. ### 13. Best application in the Market to dockized everything **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** BHARATH K. | Instructional Designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** easy to use and easy to learn and understand And lot of devops engineers like us. We are using Docker to Dockerize everything with. now one click and it will help a lot to launch our application without getting any error. **What do you dislike about Docker?** The user interface needs to be improved, and it should be easy to understand the options without making the complexity of this application. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem, the docker is solving is showing an error with an exact line of code. or where we are lagging in terms of Docker rising and in it will help a lot in this field. ### 14. The GOAT for every development team **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ido B. | Senior Software Engineer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 21, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker is just a magic, it helps us a lot in our team as it increases efficiency by automated copying our env configs across all teammates. For example, say a new team member is onboarding, all he needs to do is pull our latest image from the docker hub, run 2 commands and Boom he has exactly what he needs and what the rest of the team is aligned with. In addition no need to worry about inconsistency between developers. **What do you dislike about Docker?** I found it pretty complex at first, I'd say Docker is not so beginner-friendly (when operating only via CLI) but as soon you get to know it and work with it daily you quickly adjust. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** As mentioned it is super useful when onboarding new team members as they can in a few commands run the very same env and configs the rest of the team does. Other than that the easy way to set up a clone env on your local machine without using a virtual machine software (such as VirtualBox I used to use) is priceless and much much faster and efficient! ### 15. Benefits of docker **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** SATYAKI Y. | Software developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker is a platform that allow developers to build, share, and run container applications.

Docker makes it easy to prototype, develop, and test various software and application packages. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jacki K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** The ease and speed in which it takes to fire up and run applications. Its also very easy combine multiple docker containers into useful stacks. For example you can fire up a VPN docker container, an authentication container, and then a web application container and link them together so that all the traffic sent to the application is protected by an authentication layer with all traffic running through a VPN. If you decide to switch one application out for another later on it makes that very easy too. Countless hours troubleshooting the interoperability of applications is avoided. **What do you dislike about Docker?** It can be a bit of a learning curve if you are used to running everything on a baremetal server but the learning curve is worth it for the time saved later. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker runs all our companies internal applications. Wikis, Knowledge base, online security, etc. ### 21. The best program for containerized applications **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker allows you to run programs in 'containers', which allows for applications to easily be expanded, replaced, and reset. It's an essential tool that every developer should be using. **What do you dislike about Docker?** IPv6 support within Docker's virtual network is very lackluster. It is not worth the effort of getting it to work, and is not properly supported. While this may not be an issue in most situations, it is a major gripe in the places where it matters. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker provides a way for all our machines to run the same programs without having to manually set them depending on hardware differences. This means that containers can easily be started, stopped, and moved as needed. ### 22. Docker - mini portable OS creator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Atishay J. | SDE1, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker helps to manage multiple base configuration requirements for different application deployment running at same time. **What do you dislike about Docker?** There are some prerequisite for learning docker like you should be familiar with Linux operating systems. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker helps us to run and manage multiple application which requires different base configuration in our enterprise deployment. Docker bind each application with its own os requirements, which is core and best useful feature for us. ### 23. Docker seems to solve many of my problems **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Parakh S. | Programmer Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker has literally solved a lot of my headaches like earlier we had the issue of softwares not being able to run on other systems but only one. But with Docker we can run anything on any computer which saves a lot of time. Also its scalability is amazing. **What do you dislike about Docker?** Docker has solved many of the issues I faced while working. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker ensures that we can work seamlessly as it stores images in containers which help in deployment. ### 24. Essential tool to master for professional software engineers **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark P. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** One of the nice things about docker is that in the basic form it is pretty simple and easy to use, assuming you get a good image, you can easily use Docker to get an app up and running with very few stepa, so that makes it very easy to implement if you combine it with a cloud based docker hosting service. I'm essentially using it every day in various forms from running it at home to keep my home automation, game and print servers sperated. **What do you dislike about Docker?** One of the things about Docker is that it's pretty minimal in itself, the basic features are there, but then there's a world of additionally complicated tools to get involved, like Kubernetes and nginix to create more advanced configurations. That makes it soetimes difficult to implment if you're just getting started. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker helps me in my professional work by allowing me to build an application image and deploy it across multiple regions and the security that it's the correct version of the code. The caching layers also work very well so that building images can be much quicker that, for example, a full VM. ### 25. Docker best for Bundling in software developments!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Omkar S. | React Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** The best thing about docker is that its functions for package builds. As a developer, it has helped me transfer my files more efficiently by containerising them. It also has excellent help availability within the command lines. The documentation is also straightforward to understand and apply. Its versatility with various engines in development purposes makes it stand out from its competitors. **What do you dislike about Docker?** At the start of installing and running the docker software, it has become an issue while running that it shows an error; although it gets solved irritates developers. It would be great if they looked into it. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** In the development field, when a code works on certain someone's laptop/pc, it doesn't work on the other pc so to overcome our organisation has come to use docker, where it containerises its code as well as the os, which in turn rectifies the issue of the above mentioned. ### 26. Best containerization tool ever used. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gourav U. | Devops Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Docker?** The best thing I like about docker is that its community is huge and easy to get support. Its very easy to understand docker and its working is very smooth and simple use can easy implement for there application. Its very fast and light weight on Server and easy to manage. Can get almost every base image on dockerhub which make working very easy. **What do you dislike about Docker?** There is no issue or dislike for docker as I have been using for many year and not faced any issue. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** The very fast benefit I get is in infrastructure costing with docker I am able to run multiple application on single server by running those application in container. Very easy to create images for our application and its very fast and light weight image which will give better performance. ### 27. My experience with Docker **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Korla G. | Open source contributor , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker a platform with which I can containerize my application easily it works cool with windows Linux and mac .My web app works on my machine and it works cool on my friends machine as well, only thing they need to do is that they need to run the docker image of my app that I had build and shared . It also provides volumes, networking through which containers can communicate with each other. It also has large registry called docker hub where all official images are stored. **What do you dislike about Docker?** Docker has only a single point of failure called Daemon server which means the commands that I run my CLI were executed by daemon server . If that fails there is no alternative like podman. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Main problem it solves is that it is light weight and has light weight base image and few app and os dependencies with which if app runs on my machine it works any where regardless of environment. ### 28. Everything working on everyone's machine **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mahnoor A. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** Its main functionality which is to simulate the best environments for a piece of code to run. If I can set up the right docker container that the author intended, I do not have to set up anything else. It removes the need for complicated setup instructions in many scenarios. The CLI is automatically configured to use the most popular CLI registry so I do not have to specify URLs. The CLI can also be configured to work with ACR's CLI. **What do you dislike about Docker?** The number of image pulls a day is limited on the free plan, unlike Podman. It is a bit complicated to set up a local registry for machines with large storage. Sometimes, the platform error it gives on MacOS can be misleading for new users. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to distribute components to each other for local testing through writing Dockerfiles. It saves time from setting up dependencies ourselves. We also share updates with each other through new images pushed to DockerHub or Azure Container Registry. The multistage building feature also allows us to reduce the size of the final image so a lightweight image can run the binaries. This way our storage does not get all used up. ### 29. Docker : The best solution to virtualization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** ARJUN V. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** 1. Its easy to use and work with the team members 2. Packages can be installed very easily and can be deployed to docker hub so that we could reuse that. 3. OS specific issues can be solved. 4. When we adapt dockers in our projects so multiple members can work together and also the package installations can be avoided so that is saves time. 5. It can be easilly integrate to the running projects 6. Docker containers can be saved locally as well..just like that it provides many features. 7. Its easy to pull docker containers with even single command. **What do you dislike about Docker?** 1. It will consume the memory rapidly. 2.Low memory might result in performance of the system. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker can solve number of problems. We have used docker in many projects , so that when we commit a docker container to docker hub and team members could pull the container and make use of it and as one of the member had insttalled the required packages then the time consumption for that kind of applications can be reduced. We shall create work environments with in it , so that some projects needs linux environment or embedded based OS , so for testing and all we might dont have those devices with us , so we shall pull the docker containers which we used before and make use of it for modifications and testing. So that it shall help to work remotely as well and we could simply run linux environments in Windows OS easily. ### 30.

Best way to run applications **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Manuel L. | GIS Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** Docker is very lightweight for the amount of function you get out of it. I use it to run WebODM, a photogrametric program with very high consumption. I only have one PC at work to run photogrametric models and use ArcGIS. Running WebODM in Docker allows me to run all my software without crashing my computer. **What do you dislike about Docker?** Nothing really. It works well for the limited use I have for it. I am not a programmer so I cannot speak to other aspects of the program. Any dislike would be on my end, since I have a steep learning curve not being a developer. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am the GIS speciliast for a small company. Recently we starting doing more work with drones and 3d models. All photogrametric programs have high consumption and would require a dedicated PC to run the software without interrupting the rest of our work. This is not finicially feasible for us so we found a program that can get us the 3D results we need while being able to run on the PCs we already have. This is done by running WebODM with Docker. It has the options to really get into the nitty gritty of the parameters for running WebODM withouth causing too much strain on my other hardware. ### 49. Docker is a useful containerization platform that provides many benefits for development. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim C. | Website and Wordpress Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Docker?** The container concept allows for greater portability and isolated areas of use of the service. I found Docker very easy to use once I had the initial configuration and configuration done. Image creation is straightforward with Dockerfiles, although sometimes the problem of build failures can be difficult. The CLI tool gives you most of the commands you need to manage containers, images, volumes, etc. The Compe tool is also flexible enough to define multi-container environments. Overall, Docker enables you to compile and deploy applications more efficiently. Image caching and layered file structures help reduce build time rather than provisioning entire VMs. Docker Hub also has strong community support with lots of images. **What do you dislike about Docker?** On the downside, sometimes Docker feels a little too complicated. Network concepts such as bridges and overlay networks can be complex. There is also a course on checking storage using volumes and bind mounts. Sometimes I run into frustrating connection or licensing issues that are hard to figure out. Safety models and best practices for container sanitation seem important but unclear. **What problems is Docker solving and how is that benefiting you?** Docker allowed me to use a central WordPress development container built by the company I work for. It made it easy to have access to a centralized image to use for development. ### 50.
