You realize the author is compiling a Rust webserver for a static website right?
replyThey are already long past the point of "complicate things unnecessarily".
A simple Dockerfile pales in comparison.
That’s a reasonable deployment strategy, but a pretty terrible local development strategy
replyDevcontainers are a good compromise though - you can develop within a context that can be very nearly identical to production; with a bit of finagling you could even use the same dockerfile for the devcontainer, and the build image and the deployed image
replyBecause he spends a good deal of the intro complaining that this makes his dev practice slow. So don’t do it! It has nothing to do with docker but rather the fact he is wiping the cache on every triggered build.
