    Yeah kimd of. Docker is a container management system. Like a Virtual Machine except it isn’t a whole OS being used to host each “virtual machine,”. it connects a closed container to the kernel. So you have a container with a specific stripped down app inside it that you can connect to.

    Architecture has to match though.

      Right, no i know my comment was a gross oversimplification, just tried to explain it in a way someone who doesn’t know anything about it could start researching more about it.
