Feel kinda shafted by people who kept trying to "red pill" me on Docker. I've gone with a fully local install of all the applications I use and I couldn't be happier---everything works so much better/faster, is far more coherent, and seems easier to manage. I understand what's going on (mostly) and I'm able to easily keep things up to date.
@b17a3b4f I never really got the appeal of Docker myself. I think I’d much rather have a server with Proxmox and use LXC containers.
@b17a3b4f for local stuff nix is actually worth looking at. It does two things really well. You can install a set of packages and then roll back to a previous state if you want to. The other is being able to install packages within a context.
Like say you need python 2 for one app and python 3 for another. Nix will let you set your environment based on a directory.
