+Fuck Docker
+It works, but it gaslights you about everything.
+
+Docker is amazing when it works. And when it doesn’t?
+It’s a smug little daemon that eats your RAM, forgets your volumes, lies about its health, and restarts things for reasons it refuses to explain.
+
+Scene 1: Everything Is Fine™
+
+You run:
+docker ps
+
+It tells you:
+azuracast Up 30 seconds
+db Up 31 seconds
+nginx Up 30 seconds
+
+Everything is up.
+Except the site is down.
+The UI is dead.
+curl gives you nothing.
+The logs? Empty.
+
+Docker: “Everything’s running fine 👍”
+
+Scene 2: Logs Are a Lie
+
+docker logs azuracast
+
+Returns:
+
+    Just enough output to give you hope
+
+    Then nothing
+
+    Then silence
+
+You tail it.
+You restart it.
+You exec into it.
+It’s just a tomb with a PID.
+
+Scene 3: It Forgets Everything
+
+You reboot the host.
+
+Suddenly:
+
+    Your containers forget their volumes
+
+    Your docker-compose.override.yml is ignored
+
+    Your networks vanish
+
+    And the bridge interface is now possessed
+
+Scene 4: Volumes Are Haunted
+
+docker volume rm azuracast_station_data
+
+Error: volume is in use
+
+By what?
+You stopped all containers. You nuked the services.
+It’s still in use — by ghosts.
+
+Eventually you just:
+
+rm -rf /var/lib/docker
+
+Because therapy is cheaper than debugging this.
+
+Scene 5: docker-compose Is a Trick
+
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up -d
+
+Now:
+
+    Some things are gone
+
+    Some things are doubled
+
+    Your stations/ folder is missing
+
+    And your database container is holding a grudge
+
+You try to roll back.
+There is no roll back. Only sadness.
+
+Scene 6: It’s Not Even Docker Anymore
+
+Modern Docker is:
+
+    Docker
+
+    Which is actually Moby
+
+    Which uses containerd
+
+    Which is managed by nerdctl
+
+    Which builds with buildkit
+
+    Which logs via journald
+
+    Which stores data in an OCI-conforming mess of layers
+
+None of it can be managed with just docker.
+
+Final Thought
+
+Docker is powerful.
+Docker is everywhere.
+Docker changed the world.
+
+But once you run real infrastructure on it?
+
+Fuck Docker.
