  • You should know how to host something without using docker, because well… that’s how you’d make a dockerfile.

    But you should not self host without containerization. The whole idea is that your self hosted applications are not polluting your environment. Your system doesn’t need all these development libraries and packages. Once you remove your application you will realize that the environment is permanently polluted and often times it is difficult to “reset” it to its previous state (without dependencies and random files left behind).

    However with docker none of that happens. Your environment is in the same state you left it.
