Hello! I need a guide on how to migrate data from shared hosting to Docker. All the guides I can find are about migrating docker containers though! I am going to use a PaaS - Caprover which sets up everything. Can I just import my data into the regular filesystem or does the containerisation have sandboxed filesystems? Thanks!

Kubernetes uses cri-o nowadays. If you're using kubernetes with the intent of exposing your docker sockets to your workloads, that's just asking for all sorts of fun, hard to debug trouble. It's best to not tie yourself to your k8s clusters underlying implementation, you just get a lot more portability since most cloud providers won't even let you do that if you're managed.

If you want something more akin to how kubernetes does it, there's always nerdctl on top of the containerd interface. However nerdctl isn't really intended to be used as anything other than a debug tool for the containerd maintainers.

Not to mention podman can just launch kubernetes workloads locally a.la. docker compose now.
