Awesome, you _should_ write a blog post if you have time :)
I'm particularly interested in what you did to get around all the bullet points. Are you still using Docker, with some bandaids, or did you move to something different?

Hope you're still here. Comments and feedback welcome.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the author. I just experience endless issues with docker in production. Enough to write a book. (just testing future audience for the book)
That, I can provide in a separate blog post! :D
What selection of bugs would you be interested in?
- Critical linux kernel bugs killing the host when running docker
- Containers crashing and corrupting all data on the mounted directories [from the host drive]
- Worldwide outage of docker.com killing all CI pipeline in the world for 7 hours straight
- More critical linux kernel bugs destroying the docker host
- Major breaking changes in docker and docker API (usually between all minor versions), breaking all existing stuff
- Randomly dropping critical features, distribution and filesystem support (to the point where there is actually NO filesystem supported by Docker on some distribution. No kidding xD)
- Various DNS fuckups (special issues on Ubuntu)
- No build-in commands to free disk space of old containers/images (this one is major hassle)
