Docker is a virtualization container that can be used for the deployment of applications. I’ve recently been tasked with installing Redmine application on the server, which has been quite fun. I’ve had some problems while doing it and I could do it again without a problem within a week, because all of the tweaks are still fresh in my mind. But what about after a month? That’s an entirely different story: By that time, I would probably forget all the details and would need to browse the Internet again....
