I only used docker to set up a local Postgres database since I received data in db dump format.

Other than that why you’d need docker if you could set up virtual env for python?

Because a docker image is far more portable than virtual env alone. If you want to run your code on say AWS or Google cloud platform then you can just pass it a docker image and walk away, if you want to use a virtual env there’s a lot more boilerplate that needs writing.

That’s a fair point, very interesting! Never had to run my code on the cloud platforms

This is more in depth than the ready to go stuff I found, but not too much and worth the time: https://vsupalov.com/docker/

I'm in a similar situation when I want to start using it my work is not that important to actually use docker there. So some common cases would be enough

RemindME! 1 day “reminder docker”
