Futo (Louis Rossman) at it again with great content, this time a Guide to a Self Managed life. This 14hrs long guide comes in two video parts, aswell as a written guide for those who prefer. Both video and written quide comes with complete chapters and timestamps. This should be a great starting point for those who have the time and want to start learning from the very beginning.

If you think running some curl-bash script against whatever mess someone has set up in an LXC or other one-off install is functionally the same than CIing a known distro and version and making an image that people then can use and bug report against, then I don't see that this conversation is going anywhere.

Correct. It can't go anywhere because you won't acknowledge that a dockerfile is literally just a script. So arguing that one type of script is any different than any other type of script is just silly from the get-go. Not sure what point you're trying to prove. Also, "one-off" literally linked you to a whole thing of "one-off" LXC containers and you still say dumb shit like this...

You can version LXC containers.

Every command (https://docs.docker.com/build/concepts/dockerfile/) is literally just an alias of something from linux bash anyway. So I'm really not understanding why you think there's any difference here. It's literally a dumbed down bash for one specific purpose.

I'm starting to think you just don't know anything about docker. Or LXCs for that matter.
