      I tried but the last time I made a website was in the 2000s and I gave up when I couldn’t figure out what “Docker” was, or why I needed it. What happened to simply slapping everything together in Notepad, uploading the files via FTP, linking it up with your MySQL database, and it all just works?

        You can totally still do that. Docker is a thing to bundle shit up. If you’re not doing that kind of thing a lot, you can skip it. That’s not to say is not useful, but it’s definitely not necessary.

        You can still do that i think lol – docker is basically an engine, the docker folks make sure docker is compatible with all different sorts of hardware, and you just make sure your software is compatible with docker.
