Sysadmin Docker - Anyone uses it over CMM?

Hello everyone,

since I joined this forum I was also looking for some alternatives to quickly deploy a webserver and found about docker - shame on me I never read more about docker before, I heard about it but never read how it works and why I should use it etc.

Currently I struggle on which one to choose. Creating own docker images takes time, since I dont know anything about it, with CMM on the other you basically just execute it and you are done.

I know this might be wrong place to ask, but maybe some of you guys are having multiple servers and you use docker for X and CMM for Y or maybe both? And you can answer or help me out a bit.

Most of the time I basically deploy a simple web server with nginx and either a forum software or a CMS - whatever the customer wants me to do.

So maube you can tell me some pros and cons between docker and CMM?

Thanks!

 

Yeah, getting pretty mixed answers from google search.

Some swear on docker, some just use/prefer it for dev environments.

Pretty hard for me to determine if its good or bad now. I mean its a nice feature to create your own image which you can

Code:

git clone

and

Code:

docker run -d

, but also would take a good amount of time to learn about volumes and how to make config mountable and what not. I mean if you have set it up once, it should be fine, but getting there might set me back on other things which are important, so, to be honest.. i dont know..
