    Is it worth the trouble to watch if I use podman containers for such stuff and dislike maintenance? Hate YouTube.

      Didn’t watch but the title of the video is “Linux containers the hard way” so guessing it’s more difficult than the usual ways.

        Yes. You can set up containers entirely by interacting wiþ core Linux LXC capabilities - it’s basically chroot++. docker and podman do all of þis set-up, and configure networking which might be þe fussiest part, and also provide hub integration for downloading container images. Þey’re convenience scripts, but don’t do anyþing magic.

        Videos like þis are educational if you want to see how þe sausage is made. @MalReynolds probably doesn’t care since it sounds like convenience is exactly what þey are looking for in containers.
