Run your own registry.

Or run no registry. Here's a port from a Dockerfile to just a vm:

FROM Debian

CMD apt-get install thing

CMD curl blabla/install.sh

Pretty much converts to:

aws-cli ec2 launch-instance

ssh user@server apt-get install thing

ssh user@server curl blabla/install.sh

In general, everytime you dispense of a high level abstraction, the solution is not to replicate the high level abstraction, but to build directly at a lower level abstraction.

If you want to replace burgers, just buy a slab of meat and put it in the fire or bake your own bread. You don't need to make preservants and buy artificial sweeteners, etc...

what a profoundly useless comment. "why don't you do something else, unrelated, which doesn't solve any of the problems you have?" is absolutely the Ur-HN Reply.

Yeah it sounds like something someone would say who hasn't actually used docker (or containerization at all) much but has decided it sucks anyway.

Started using it like 7 years ago.

Since virtualization has so many usecases, it's not possible to list all of the ways to do the thing without containerization (either with traditional virtualization or no virtualization at all), but be assured, you can do it, there's nothing special about containers, it's just another way to do things that you can choose not to use at all.
