Docker is not only about dependency management. It also offers service “composing”, via docker compose, and network isolation for each service.

Although I personally love Nix, and I run NixOS on some of my servers, I do not believe it can replace Docker/Podman. Unless you go the NixOS Containers route.

I am trying to understand.

Docker, which uses OCI containers that are supported by Docker, Podman, Containerd, systemd-nspawn, etc, is lock-in.

But Nix Shells, which require Nix, are not lock-in.

Also, how are you going to run Nix shells in VLANs? They run on the host’s network namespace.

Since it only has a receiver and not a transmitter, it’s probably completely useless

I have Signal and microG with push notifications. Signal still uses websocket on my device. So, I guess it would be fine without microG push.

I don’t agree that it made any sense to do that. If they wanted to containerize apps, there has been an open source solution to that for years; Flatpak.

ain’t nobody got time for that

As an app maintainer, that wants to support Ubuntu, why would I prefer to deploy a snap server, instead of publishing deb files, or creating a Flatpak?

There are big differences between Snaps and Flatpaks.
