30, that's cute. I currently have 70 containers running on my home server. That doesn't include any lab I run or the stuff I use at work. Containers make life much easier. I also guarantee you don't know those apps as well as you think you do either. Just being able to install and configure something doesn't mean you know the inner workings of them. I used to do the same thing you do. Eventually, I would rather spend my time doing other things or learning certain things more in-depth and be okay with a working knowledge of others. It can be fun and rewarding to do things the hard way but don't kid yourself and think you're somehow superior for doing it that way.
Containers != services.
I don't think I am better than anyone. I jumped into these comments because docker was pushed as superior, unprompted.
Installing and configuring does not an expert make, agreed; but that's not what I said.
I would say I'm pretty knowledgeable about the things I host though, seeing as I am a contributor and / or package maintainer for a number of them...
Correct, not all containers are for services. I would never say that docker is superior. I would however say that containers are (I can be pedantic too). They're version-controlled, they come with the correct dependencies, etc... There are many reasons why developing with containers is superior and I'm sure you're aware of them already. Everyone is moving to do exactly that. There are always edge cases, but those are few and far between these days.
