Why do I need one or more (more with older versions) additional daemons 
to run simple services or virtual routers (network namespaces)?


I don't like many of the implications which, as I understand it, Docker 
imposes.


Conversely I can do what I want with a few relatively simple (to me) 
commands directly in init scripts.

Someone replied, off list maybe, that it is some sort of joke in
Germany.  The main reason for my reply is in case someone wanted to
unsub from the list.  It seems some lists will do that with a empty
email but Gentoo requires it to be sent to a unsub address.  It seems
some know how to subscribe but not how to leave.  lol 

Anyway.  ;-)

an empty email with no subject and body.

Note: times when forcing plain text when reading actually helps :P

Title: Re: [gentoo-user]


I remember a Futurama episode (maybe even the first), where
Fry tried to deliver a pizza to somebody called I.C. Wiener.

"Hans Wurst" is a similar joke name in Germany.
dict.leo.org translates "Hanswurst" to "tomfool" as in
"what kind of tomfoolery is this?".

That makes sense, although I'm running a reverse proxy anyway as I have
different services on different hosts behind a single public IP address.

I saw a systems using Traefik last week. Traefik offers some sort of
auto-discovery to handle this sort of thing.

Yes, it's more work for a single container, but once you start running
more there's very little extra work involved.

I've used nspawn in the past and it worked well for what I needed, maybe
I need to revisit it.

That seems to be what Traefik promises when used with Docker, make that
Kool-Aid a double :)

It has been a while since I've tried it, but networking with Docker is
a PITA.  Just having it use DHCP/DNS like any normal host isn't an
option, and it seems like you have to stick some kind of reverse proxy
in front of everything.

I can see how it makes sense at scale.  However, if you just need one
instance of something, it is just way more complexity than you need.

I personally use nspawn to run my containers, with a network
namespace.  They just have their own MACs, run DHCP, and generally
work like any VM minus the memory use.

But, perhaps I just need to drink more of the kool-aide and it will
click some day.  All I want is to be able to type a.b.com in my
browser and have it display the service I just started up.  With
nspawn that is just a matter of a few lines in dhcpd.conf and my BIND
config.

Going OT here, but why do you dislike Docker? I've only recently started
using it, so if there are any major, or otherwise, drawbacks, I'd like to
know before I get too entwined in their ecosystem.
