I'm also confused about the Docker hate here. The daemon itself is lightweight and the Docker-ized process(es), once running, have negligible overhead compared to running them natively.

I didn't look at the image size but you might be paying a ~100 MB storage penalty to bundle dependencies.

For my fedora people,I just want to remind them that whenever anyone says docker, you can safely use podman (or at least that is the goal).

It won't be rootless in this case as far as I know because you will need privileged ports 80 and 443 but good habit in general.

You can allow unprivileged apps to use privileged ports, its just a simple sysctl edit.

It's actually more than negligible, docker containerization tends to impose limits, tracking, and network overhead on processes, which all have some overhead and penalty on performance.

On beefcake supreme machines it's just usually not significant enough to worry about, because the perceived benefits outweigh the downsides.
