One thing thing I love - the simplicity of adding new containers through the community aggregated app store,
Something I would like to see added in 2020, VM snapshots would be radical.
Thanks for all your hard work and happy new year!
Below is my rambling testament to what I like about the platform far outside the scope of the entry requirements
How do I leave it to one thing.
I love the community app store, which makes docker simple to work with . Yes, once you grasp how to use docker or docker compose, then it is simple enough. However, developers love their shorthand and instructions on github and dockerhub tend to be a bit barebones with assumptions made that the end user will "know how to open a linux socket" for instance.
I love how this software really re-sparked my interest in tech (though it has become a quite expensive interest). This has now led to multiple servers, rack mounted switches, re-purposed hardware for a pfsense router/firewall, and countless new projects with which to learn new things.
I love having virtualization so easily handy so I can spin up a VM or launch a container to teach myself IP PBX software, Windows Server, IPTV through TVheadend (which is then ported into Plex through Xteve or tvheadend), CC TV security through Shinobi or Blue Iris, countless Linux distros, hosting my own website, sharing my media with family, having Terabytes of Storage at the ready (plus the ability to easily pop in more drives individually at a whim).
I love being able to run a VPN to get into my server from my office and access any of my files though my own cloud service (be it OwnCloud, NextCloud, or OpenVPN and mapping a windows network share).
I love not dealing with external Hard Drives.
I love Space Invaders video tutorials for all of the above.
I love that this forum exists and Reddit too. For support or simply to inspire new ideas for the next project / learning experience.
Everything posted above doesn't scratch the surface of all this software does and all that I have done with this software.
I love that it keeps getting better with each release and every addition to the community app store.
I also love that it keeps showing me how much more there is to learn and how much further I can research and develop my skills in tech. Be it learning Linux, enterprise and networking hardware, network administration, systems/server administration, software development, etc. As I said this has re-sparked my interest in tech and is steadily getting me closer to my goal of working in tech, as I am currently studying to acquire certifications for Cisco and maybe M$ too.
As I said it is hard to keep it to just one like, as this software has opened the door to so much for me.
