  • I know it’s ELI5, but this is a common misconception and will lead you astray. They do not have the same level of isolation, and they have very different purposes.

    For example, containers are disposable cattle. You don’t backup containers. You backup volumes and configuration, but not containers.

    Containers share the kernel with the host, so your container needs to be compatible with the host (though most dependencies are packaged with images).

    For self hosting maybe the difference doesn’t matter much, but there is a difference.
