Yeah but Docker Desktop uses a VM, either in WSL2 or Hyper-V. Docker Engine on Linux doesn't use a VM and that's what's typically used for hosting services.
The way, what was stated, was stated, indicated that docker runs virtual machines. It doesn't. It runs containers, right?
Docker is a container platform. Docker Engine is the container host for Linux and Docker Desktop uses a virtual machine to run Docker Engine and containers in that VM.
For example, if you use Docker Desktop on Windows, Docker Desktop will run Docker Engine in a WSL2-based VM and then run containers inside that.
First, stop talking to me like I don’t know this already. Second, these facts don’t make me wrong or you right. The implication of what was said is that you run VM’s on docker. The fact is, you don’t. Stop arguing.
Ok, so what I was trying to say was this...
Dude does most of their work out of a VM rather than the host, and asks if they can also run pihole in that VM. I was trying to say "yeah, but it's a Linux app so either run docker from within the VM itself and run it as a container or spin up another separate VM"
But I agree. Not argument-worthy. There's no grounds for ackchyually-ing here.
Makes complete sense. Thank for clarifying.
