I wonder why Bocker makes the frontpage so often. Is Docker still that controversial even in 2024? Why people don't recognize that it actually brought something useful (mainly, software distribution and easy of "run everywhere") to the table?

It's possible it's not climbing the front page to slight docker, but rather that people are seeing that docker is something useful and want to know how it works. Bocker can be an entrypoint into the technologies.

Yes it's a wonderful little read. Besides without volumes and port forwarding few would ever deploy this to production.

The reason people use docker over Podman and rolling their own is because of the ecosystem and ubiquity of docker.
