 Me> How has Docker impacted your workflow?

I've kinda fought the Docker thing and mostly still demand on running my own 'thing' - but its increasingly become the most stupid fight in my nix workflow...

For example, a really nice Ollama frontend - open-webui - is the perfect example of why docker kicks arse... if you install from source, the package count is literally almost 1,000 packages, pip installs and requirements - but with one command you can get a graphical Ollama/OpenAI/and other frontend that does more than the 'big guys' software;

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

One and done. Works everywhere... its really amazing - and I need to start embracing Docker and just building it out everywhere. It was hard to wrap my head around the 'where are my files', but it's really not that much of a task figuring out... maybe I'll try a few more things here soon, w/ Docker.

 Me> What are some of the coolest use cases of Docker you've seen or
 Me> implemented?

So the places that I *do* use Docker is for all my websites; I have an nginx proxy running, that passes my few websites off to other containers running Hugo, Bitwarden, Apache and bootstra.386 - and the machine just works. I think that one is a Proxmox container, so it's light and those containers seem to never go down...
