Containerization has simplified multi-layer app deployment and accelerated project delivery
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Docker on Ubuntu is containerization of my projects and running the containerized application packages.
For example, when I build an application that has multiple layers, such as an application with a front-end, back-end, and database layer, I create a Docker image that pulls all of the information and then pull the image on a Ubuntu environment where I use to host. In that way, I just build the Docker image so every part of the program is there, and I can use the Docker image to spin everything in one go.
Docker on Ubuntu is deployed in all of these situations including AWS cloud, private cloud, and some on-premises installations.
What is most valuable?
The best features Docker on Ubuntu offers are the ability to containerize things and the ability to configure things easily using YAML files, along with the vast amount of repositories that I get access to.
Easy configuration with YAML files and access to a vast amount of repositories has helped me since whenever I want to add more layers to Docker on Ubuntu, I can just edit the Docker config file and add more layers or a new storage layer easily. It is really simple to orchestrate the whole system using just a simple YAML file. Regarding the vast amount of repositories and collaboration, people can publish their own Docker images, and all of those are available for pulling into my project or using those projects, allowing for a vast amount of collaboration space.
Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by saving us a lot of time during preparations for hosting and helping us install many simple pre-packaged Docker installations of applications we use, such as n8n.
What needs improvement?
Improvement for Docker on Ubuntu could involve making it more user-friendly, potentially by having a wizard for non-technical users. When I started, I found it difficult to understand the syntax of the YAML and configuration files. A dedicated wizard or UI to build the Docker image would be really helpful for usability and UX scenarios; otherwise, it is all good, and I think it is perfect as it is.

I would not like for you to provide a short poem or haiku that will summarize my review.
I have given this review a rating of 9.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Containerization has simplified web app deployment and cross‑environment access but still needs better UI and collaborative code workflows
What is our primary use case?
I use
Docker on Ubuntu for deploying majorly web applications and scaling them based on the number of users. I store web applications in the form of images. In continuous integration, we can import
Docker on Ubuntu images that we develop locally, store them in a Docker on Ubuntu image, and import them in the pipeline so that we do not need to rebuild it again. Before Docker on Ubuntu, deploying things took so much time and space before the cloud deliverables and Docker on Ubuntu. After Docker on Ubuntu, we can run our application in any environment and store it in Docker on Ubuntu with the help of the cloud. The big advantage of Docker on Ubuntu is that we can access our entire application for developing without needing any prerequisites. We can just install Docker on Ubuntu in our system and access the entire application. No extra dependencies and extra libraries need to be installed by using Docker on Ubuntu.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that we can store the images in Docker on Ubuntu so that it can be accessible within any environment and any tech stack as a container runtime that we can use in every system available. We can download from it. Docker on Ubuntu is a container environment that allows us to share the resources. For example, with a web application that contains three parts—front end, back end, and middleware—we can use three containers to run them feasibly and interconnect those containers with Docker on Ubuntu networks. We could save more storage space on our local and store the code and our entire application in Docker on Ubuntu, just a simple Docker on Ubuntu image, by building a Docker on Ubuntu image.
What needs improvement?
A UI experience is lacking. It does not have a proper UI experience. We need to use the command line always when we need to use Docker on Ubuntu. If there is a Docker on Ubuntu UI, it could be better. Additional features in Docker on Ubuntu, like code sharing ability, are absent. Code sharing ability exists in
GitHub and other tools, but in Docker on Ubuntu, other users we are sharing with do not have options like edit and update the code. They can just view the code.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Docker on Ubuntu for a minimum of two to three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Docker on Ubuntu is very stable. There are no security issues. Our application will be live until we stop it and will remain stable.
How was the initial setup?
I worked in the command line with commands. It is okay. Not that easy, but it is fine. We can get accustomed to it if you continuously work on it. In setup, we just need to install Docker on Ubuntu and use it through the command line. It is straightforward and easy. Once we study using Docker on Ubuntu documentation, we will understand it. It is not that hard.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
For hosting, I used many free tools like Netlify and Vercel for deploying my applications.
What other advice do I have?
I did not work on customer products, but for the learning part, I used normal daily life web applications that we develop to learn the skill. I did not study entire Docker on Ubuntu and I just started it and worked on it for two to three months on some use cases like deploying and storing my application, storing my entire web application or any Android application. I just studied till that part only. There are far many more things in Docker on Ubuntu to be explored for me. I do not recommend it for freshers. Some built-in experience is needed for learning Docker on Ubuntu, basically any development experience required so that they can understand it easily. For beginners, it is not useful for them, a five to six rating. For the person who has previously experienced in development and other areas, they can start it with a good foundation. I recommend it to them as an eight to nine. My overall rating of Docker on Ubuntu is six out of ten.
