I saw Dan Wahlin speak on using Docker with Angular at the AngularMix.

This was one of those talks that had some going back in time nostalgia to it. Dan brought up WS_FTP in one of his slides and made me feel old. Apparently HotDog Professional was an old HTML editor. Macromedia HomeSite was also an older editor that was name dropped. MariaDB, in contrast, is a modern database platform. Anyways, not to get off topic... You may run an app in a Docker container and then move the container to any server. That was the thing to take away from this talk, the portability. Just prep your application to run in a container, not a server. That way the specific server may change. You may see/hear everything Mr. Wahlin said at this recording that was made. In terms of terms, think of an "image" as a blueprint like a class in C# and a "container" as an instance of the class. Docker Hub would be a good place to go to goof off with containers in getting started.
