You lost me right around the point where you compared x86 vs x86_64 to a toaster and a teapot.

Nothing about Ruby forum software necessitates a 64-bit kernel. (Which I have, incidentally.) According to Docker, nothing about Docker necessitates a 64-bit kernel either! It's an entirely arbitrary requirement, inherited by the forum software for support reasons rather than technical reasons, and for some reason you are blaming me for not meeting it.

I certainly believe that people manage the 30 minute installation. I would've been much happier if I managed it as well.

And Web deployments must suck, or we wouldn't need Docker. Right? I mean, the whole appeal is that we can take all this arduous ad-hoc crap and just shove it in a box. Unfortunately, it's still arduous ad-hoc crap; we just don't have to look at it as often now.

Docker largely doesnt support 64 bit as the docker hub doesnt yet, and even if it did there are no prebuilt images for 32 bit, so you would not be able to install any software. This is unlikely to change as no one is going to build 32 bit images for all software given that x86 32 bit is extremely rare (guessing under 1% of installs perhaps less)
