Why not Docker?

I based my infrastructure around the Raspberry Pi that I rented from Mythic Beasts.

As it has only Network File Storage I found it not suitable for running Docker containers.

This left me with the alternative that I run the server as a binary and manage the files for the site myself, and as my site is static content that worked out fine.

Docker would be overkill

The benefit of static content is it’s easy to serve, and can be handled by a Content Delivery Network, which means there isn’t much need of a single powerful server.

Docker is great for packaging complex dynamic apps, but isn’t needed for static content like this.

I would use it for anything else, to standardise and containerise it and make it easier to work with.

But for a static site like mine it isn’t necessary.
