A quick rant about Docker

Discussion
1

I don’t know if anyone else has run into this, but: I have a home server I used in lieu of Google et al, which runs in part on Docker containers. Trying to set up SearXNG and Gluetun recently I had a hell of a time getting the settings right because a few critical pieces of the yml file weren’t noted in the documentation. I had to check third party examples and eventually figure it out.

Is this a common experience? Someone say “yes” and validate my experience . . . :wink:

I can not say for your specific case, but it is unfortunately common for documentation to have errors or omissions.
That is not only a Linux problem… it is more that programmers are lousy document writers… with some noted exceptions like Kernighan and Ritchie.
