I don't like middle grounds in my packages, what can I say.

Docker containers are treated as immutable and disposable to me, like a boot CD, for each, I write a shell script to generate both a .conf if needed, a docker-compose.yml and run the container.

They're plug'n'play separate parts to the rest of the OS, while packages are about integrating nicely with the rest of the OS, in a non-snowflakey, non-disruptive manner.

I also hate .conf.d folders and always deleted them. One program, one .conf.
