I wouldn't go as far as to say it's for server side apps only as it's
used to sandbox development/production environments particularly
programs written in Go and for running many different versions of an app
at once, allowing upgrades of individual apps without effecting the rest
of the system and actually oodles of things.
OK running an emulator inside a container probably isn't it's best use
but as it's light weight the speed decrease is minimal in fact I can't
even see any slowdown at all running at max cpu and it means I can plonk
VirtualT on a computer (now my container is built) in about 2 minutes,
1m30s of that being the file transfer time

Docker is a "container " meaning really lightweight virtual machine.
Dockerizing is when you get an application to run in a docker
container without major issues.
It is not good for anything other than server side apps. I would not
recommend it for a GUI app.
