> Don't know if it can be used as a proper Docker replacement

The readme says "I can make no guarantees that it won't trash your system", so yeah clearly not intended for real use.

Where does Docker guarantee that it won't trash your system?

See here: https://www.docker.com/legal/docker-terms-service/

Under EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES and LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Here, Bocker is also a replacement for Docker in exactly the same sense: Bocker's simple statement "I can't guarantee it won't trash your system" is a concise alterantive to a wall of legalese.

To be fair one is for demonstration purposes and the other is intended to be used. They seek the same protections regardless. It's kind of like how a $1,000 water filtration system wants the same legal protection that a $15 Brita does or heck, I'd assume if you got scammed with a fraudulent water filter that used orgone energy and crystals, it too would also want those legal protections.

You'd probably want to tread cautiously if someone doesn't use disclaimers - that's probably a more dangerous product.

But.. it’s not a good alternative. This description is not as precise or as bounded as the “legalese” wording.

Most software says that in the license too (even commercial software!) so it’s nice to see it front and center for once.

[stjohnswarts]

that's why smart people always check this stuff out on spare machines and VMs.

Right?

... right?

I typically run stuff inside of docker

[anderspitman]

Should probably run it in a VM just to be safe
