## Can we run Docker locally?
## Why don't we run Docker locally?
- If you already have Docker (or Podman) installed, you can use it!
- We are going to download container images and distribution packages.
- The VMs can be convenient if:
- This could put a bit of stress on the local WiFi and slow us down.
- you can't/won't install Docker or Podman on your machine,
- Instead, we use a remote VM that has a good connectivity
- your local internet connection is slow.
- In some rare cases, installing Docker locally is challenging:
- We're going to download many container iamges and distribution packages.
- no administrator/root access (computer managed by strict corp IT)
- If the class takes place in a venue with slow WiFi, this can slow us down.
- 32-bit CPU or OS
- The remote VMs have good connectivity and downloads will be fast there.
- old OS version (e.g. CentOS 6, OSX pre-Yosemite, Windows 7)
- It's better to spend time learning containers than fiddling with the installer!
(Initially, we provided VMs to make sure that nobody would waste time
with installers, or because they didn't have the right permissions
on their machine, etc.)
