I didn't even think about the missing updates in the future when I wrote my comment.

It just all sounded to me like someone hating at one dude who did crappy development and then tries to solve that problem with Docker instead of a process.

In my eyes, Docker is the epitome of crappy development. "Oh we don't care anymore, we just throw all into a container and be done with it."

That's actually the plan. We need to keep it running in legacy mode until the updated and patched version of the app is ready to be deployed. Main org IT don't want EOL and unsupported pieces in its infra anymore unless it can isolate it.

Next version is going to be service based and scalable. A WAMP installation can't do that.

Am I being trolled ? Because I don't see the people bashing docker or glorifying the values of an insecure but simple setup giving alternatives.

What should we do then ?

Maybe you found one of the few good reasons to use Docker, I don't know.

I just have the impression, Docker is the way if people don't really want to think about a solution.
