If docker works for you, then don’t change what’s not broken. If there are things you don’t like about docker (root access etc for example) then venture out and try others. At the end of the day, they’re just tools to get to the more interesting stuff — actually running applications and playing with them.
Cool. Thanks! One less reason for me to even consider Porman on the radar. Personally, I really don’t care for the tool itself, and am way more interested in the apps that I can run and play with :)
Yea, I contribute to a bunch of own source projects, so it makes it easy to jump around without conflicts. Also great for random stuff like youtube-dl, or esphome, etc, that you use once in a while. Just slap the aliases in my bashrc.

Just pointing out your response may be dated. Docker can run rootless: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/

Agreed. Honesly I use docker like snap these days. Need a specific version of node?
Pretty much every CLI tool that isn’t super basic to install I do this with.
Wow, that’s really clever. And dead simple at the same time.
