What's the biggest docker footgun you've experienced? - eviltoast

I’ll start:

When I was first learning to use Docker, I didn’t realize that most tutorials that include a database don’t configure the database to persist. Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t figure out why the database kept getting wiped!

    This is no longer true with buildkit - you can use the --secret to securely pass a secret in as an argument.

      Thanks for sharing! I will need to look deeper into build kit. Containers aren’t my main artifacts, unfortunately, so I am still building them the ways of old, sounds like.
