'''You do not need to be a genius linux sysadmin at creating your own docker containers & setups to use it, but you should have some clue what it is or what happens when you type <code>docker compose up</code> to run something!''' Docker massively changed how sysadmins run & deploy software. It’s the engine behind many modern self-hosted solutions like ''Mailcow'', ''Immich'', ''Bitwarden'', ''Frigate'', & ''OnlyOffice''.
