Relatively simple containerization
What do you like best about the product?
The Yaml config files are really flexible and can be scripted to do just about anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the build process set up to be secure is a painful experience. In the end, you need a good build automation and vulnerability scanning package to go along with it to avoid embarrassing security failures like keys in your log files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed to refactor a monolithic app into microservices. It worked quite well for this and served as both an efficient testbed and easily upgraded and maintained production system.
Reliable Containerization Made Simple on Ubuntu 20
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about using Docker on Ubuntu 20 is the stability and efficiency of the environment. Setting it up is straightforward, and getting containers running only takes a few minutes, which makes the implementation process very smooth. Docker integrates effortlessly with the other tools in our CI/CD pipeline, making it a strong choice for both local development and production deployments. As a developer, I find its lightweight and consistent nature especially valuable, as it helps eliminate the common “it works on my machine” issue. The performance on Ubuntu 20 is impressive, and managing containers with either the Docker CLI or Docker Compose is both smooth and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s little to complain about, though I have occasionally encountered version mismatches or dependency problems following system updates, which sometimes need to be resolved manually. The documentation is generally strong, but I feel that certain advanced scenarios on Ubuntu could use more detailed explanations. While both customer support and the open-source community are active and responsive, I’ve noticed that official support tends to focus more on enterprise users. Nevertheless, the extensive community presence makes it fairly straightforward to troubleshoot and find solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running Docker on Ubuntu 20 has greatly streamlined the way we deploy, test, and maintain our applications. We rely on it almost every day for developing microservices, isolating different environments, and guaranteeing consistent builds throughout our team. One of its standout benefits is the ability to easily replicate production-like environments locally, eliminating the need for multiple virtual machines. Its seamless integration with tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Kubernetes has allowed us to automate our workflows and accelerate deployments. Overall, Docker has boosted our productivity, shortened setup times, and made our development process much more dependable.
Amazing software to host various applications
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about docker is we can create isolated environments and we can run different applications individually without affecting each other. Easy to communicate between various containers and we will have almost any package available in the docker hub. Basically whatever we develop on our system will work everywhere with the help of docker services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without basic knowledge, we can not work with docker. Docker doesn't have a User interface, unlike windows. It is easier to manage the docker container on GUI than on the command tool. Though docker has released the docker desktop it is difficult to install and not smooth as in windows GUI. So most of the users use docker on the Ubuntu terminal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After I completed any development I will host the service on docker to test the application. As I work with machine learning model developments it is easy to test it on docker as they have many dependency issues if we run it locally. It is easy to share with various teams within the organisation for hosting and testing the application. We can even host the service outside the organisation by opening a particular port.
Easy way to use Docker
What do you like best about the product?
Docker is first tech to use container. There are many other container tech but Docker is first choice. On Ubuntu Docker installation is very easy. Docker with DOcker compose and docker can be used on ubuntu
What do you dislike about the product?
Noting to dislike. Installation is easy. But if youa re new to docker world then it can be confusing with some of the commands. There should be one click option to do installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Docker on ubuntu is nothing new. Ubuntu 20 makes installation easy. Earlier ubuntu versions you had to add the docker repo in ubuntu. the add the gpg key. there is no need of all that now.
Save your time and money with Docker
What do you like best about the product?
With docker on ubuntu 20.04 i could utlize server resources more efficiently than that in VMs
What do you dislike about the product?
Volume and Networking part is tricky to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well with docker I am solving N number of problems over VMs. It's light weight, ready to go tool that saves both time and money in terms of resource utilization.
Docker Review
What do you like best about the product?
one of the best tools in terms of cost and minimal time of deployment and security because of apps running on the containers which are isolated and segregated from each other
What do you dislike about the product?
following are the general things that I dislike the most in docker is their cross-platform issue and another is persistent data storage which is complex in docker
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
microservices are deployed on docker containers in it like debezium and other exporters which we use in monitoring are running on it. visualization of logs in the container is easy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
definitely recommends other as well
Ubuntu Docker
What do you like best about the product?
We use docker daily in our office life, and it is much better in terms of dependencies, The best part of docker on ubuntu 20 is, that we can run the docker images just like that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could not get any disadvantage or unlike regarding this, for me, everything is working perfectly till now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use our own docker or Kubernetes to deploy our micro-services and we always used ubuntu images to workaround, to resolve any issue related to this, we found the solution easily on ubuntu, docker, or Kubernetes community
A must have utility for running and developing applications
What do you like best about the product?
You can run any kind of app without disturbing your system. Everything runs like it's in a sandbox. The apps can even communicate with each other via docker-compose.
Thousands of images in the Docker registry. Sky is the limit to all the things you can try out using Docker.

What do you dislike about the product?
A GUI version for Linux, but I think they have just rolled out Docker Desktop for Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do not have to install any software that I want to test on my system. Just running dock-run or docker-compose does that job. Can get the latest versions and try out new apps without having to depend upon the core system updates.
My team can develop and test applications faster. From development to deployment the app remains the same.

best platform to run docker
What do you like best about the product?
I have used docker in ubuntu and aswell in ubuntu, but the feel and ease of running docker in ubuntu 20 is awesome, It is very much compatible with the linux environment as we already say that docker images are linux subsystem so it indicates that it compatiblity is also more with linux instead of windows and soecially with ubuntu.
What do you dislike about the product?
couldnt find anything to dislike anything in this platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have a private cloud in our comapny and generally we always used ubuntu images to work around , i generally preferred cli vm , and hence to use docker or kubernetes in this platform is very easy and efficient. we had one prohject named delfin which was visualization project so this image and ubuntu platform suits perfectly fine for me. It helped alot if we have used windows we need to take help of some cloud service but here we can perform each and every thing by our own.
no more incompatibilities
What do you like best about the product?
the fact of being able to use my application anywhere without having dependency problems
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing, I really like this application a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it for 2 years and have not had any problems yet
