Security concerns

[edit]

There should be a section explaining some recent security concerns with Docker, especially "Cryptojacking" through infected packages. 2018 and Summer 2020; The german version of the Docker wikipage seemed to have mentioned them already. I wish for this to be the case here as well.

Yet Another Crypto Mining Botnet?

Docker Images Containing Cryptojacking Malware Distributed via Docker Hub

EDIT: Adding some more, regarding root access: Docker containers are filled with vulnerabilities: Here’s how the top 1,000 fared

These vulnerabilities definitely need to be mentioned for once.

I also don't understand this

[edit]

To me, this looks like a promotional article or so. I still (as of January 2021) don't understand at all what does this do, how it warks, its advantages and/or disadvantages, if I can use it only by paying to the company that invented it or if it's available for free use, or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.162.208.253 (talk) 15:11, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. I use docker with Visual Studio to run Linux on a native Windows machine. The article is terrible. The second paragraph about deployment of automated applications doesn't even make sense. 2601:2C0:4400:EDE0:0:0:0:B6AF (talk) 09:30, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

--77.102.221.126 (talk) 14:58, 16 February 2021 (UTC)I learned more about the concept <dockerimage> from reading the talk page, than from the article. Surely someone can explain this concept, even if there are no refereces to back up the explanation! 77.102.221.126 (talk) 14:58, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I also miss a section on the article that mentions the many security concerns of Docker which definitely are worth mentioning at least once, especially Cryptojacking and many popular containers with unprotected root accounts. AloisIrlmaier (talk) 13:09, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 4 April 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved, and closed early per WP:SNOW. However, there's a discussion about the redirect "Docker" over at RfD. Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:44, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]



Docker (software)Docker – Currently as of the time of this writing Docker is a redirect to stevedore. It appears this originated from “docker” being a U. K. term for a dockworker or longshoreman. IMHO if a user explicitly be searching for “Docker” with a capital “D,” they are almost certainly looking for the software rather than trying to find out about dockworkers in general; furthermore, I would submit that this should reflect a global perspective and not a narrower one more locally related to U. K. terminology, and I would note that “dockworker” is already a redirect to stevedore. It also appears that in the past others have tried to have “Docker” at least redirect to docker (disambiguation), but that effort has also failed because it apparently violates WP:MALPLACED, which states that a disambiguation page for “docker” should instead exist at “docker” itself if “docker” not have a primary topic. IMHO this is all stupid because the end result of all this mess is that “Docker” will remain a redirect to “stevedore” indefinitely which IMHO makes no sense since a Google search for “Docker” results in the first several pages all being related to the software, and not a single result for “dockworker” or “stevedore.” Suggest/propose moving this page, Docker (software), to Docker to solve this problem once and for all, since apparently “docker” can’t be a redirect to “docker (disambiguation)” due to WP:MALPLACED.

License compliance

[edit]

1. Someone might like to work this legal information on license compliance into the article:[1] Cheers. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 15:43, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned user draft

[edit]

Please would an interested editor assess the material added at User:Asayal1690/Docker, incorporate what is useful, blank that page as WP:COPYARTICLE, and leave a note here when done? – Fayenatic London 22:54, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Article is Almost Meaningless Jargon.

[edit]

I use docker but if I didn't already know, I would not learn anything from this article. It should get to the point about how it is useful with perhaps an example. It's about the worst I've ever seen. Reminds me of the Enron business model statement. 2601:2C0:4400:EDE0:0:0:0:B6AF (talk) 09:25, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
