Fair enough... I admit I'm a bit of an old curmudgeon, set in my ways. :s
Aren't you at all curious why it failed though? (If not, no harm no foul -- I certainly know time diagnosing a bug is always in short supply, from personal experience). What if it's a symptom of something important that might happen later even in Fedora 41?
Sometimes it just feels like containers are used as justification for devs to blow off bug reports. As a dev I want to understand why a failure occurs.
Agreed there -- it's good for onboarding devs and ensuring consistent build environment.
Once an app is 'stable' within a docker env, great -- but running it outside of a container will inevitably reveal lots of subtle issues that might be worth fixing (assumptions become evident when one's app encounters a different toolchain version, stdlib, or other libraries/APIs...). In this age of rapid development and deployment, perhaps most shops don't care about that since containers enable one to ignore such things for a long time, if not forever....
But like I said, I know my viewpoint is a losing battle. I just wish it wasn't used so much as a shortcut to deployment where good documentation of dependencies, configuration and testing in varied environments would be my preference.
And yes, I run a bare-metal 'pet' server so I deal with configuration that might otherwise be glossed over by containerized apps. Guess I'm just crazy but I like dealing with app config at one layer (host OS) rather than spread around within multiple containers.
Call me crusty, old-fart, unwilling to embrace change... but docker has always felt like a cop-out to me as a dev. Figure out what breaks and fix it so your app is more robust, stop being lazy.
I pretty much refuse to install any app which only ships as a docker install.
No need to reply to this, you don't have to agree and I know the battle has been already lost. I don't care. Hmmph.
Are we at the point that we need to form a mutual-defense pact (or re-assert The Commonwealth, ie. petition UK, Australia et al)?
Now, here's a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is!
UK should declare him an enemy of the state w/a standing arrest warrant with talk like that. Would serve him right to never be allowed over their airspace again.
I was feeling particularly grumpy and did a final commit that 'git rm'ed everything but the new README.md, yeah.
One could even risk deleting the github repo and re-creating it w/same name to remove all old content...

Myself, I moved my projects to self-hosted gogs (maybe forgejo soon) but kept placeholders with a README.md and link on github so people can still find them.
That's fine, this is a legally valid substitute.
