OP fails to understand that in practice people use Docker Desktop on their laptop and deploy to a container platform or Kubernetes cluster that uses ContainerD. So all of these so-called issues are moot. Further, Docker Inc (and the people behind Docker CLI, Compose etc), have way better UX taste and care for DX than their competitors which matters a lot in local development.

Lots of this is incredible:
> Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy
Mexico, Greenland, Canada, ... there's never been a more interventionist US president.
> DOGE and Fiscal Discipline: The goal of cutting $1 trillion from the federal budget, a major libertarian priority.
That doesn't make it align with classical liberal principles - especially when they discard the rule of law and do it as a dictator. Cutting government is an act of Congress, not the executive.
> Deregulation: Slashed hundreds of federal regulations across multiple sectors, reducing government interference in markets and individual enterprise.
Who intervenes more in business than Trump? For example, he is forcing them to abandon DEI and ESG; he is extorting law firms; he extorts funds and capitulation from other companies.
> Judicial Restraint: Appointed constitutionalist judges committed to limiting federal overreach and upholding individual rights.
The judges have eliminated many legal restraints on government, for example fabricating legal immunities for the President that are not in the Constitution.
> Freedom of Speech: Consistently opposes online censorship.
He's forcing independent, private universities to abandon freedom of speech, arresting people based on their speech - extremes never before seen.
People are widely afraid to criticize Trump for fear of retribution - that's never really happened with an US president.
> Mexico, Greenland, Canada
Nice try. We are not at war with these countries and not even close to it either. Trump is the most non-interventionist president of the last few decades. This is an empirical and historical fact.

Obama in Executive Order 13576: "By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to cut waste, streamline Government operations, and reinforce the performance and management reform gains my Administration has achieved, it is hereby ordered as follows..."

> He is forcing them to abandon DEI and ESG;
Yes which is great - this is an example of reducing the size and scope of government. This amounted to less rules, smaller gov and undoing gov overreach. Again this is measurable and empirical action that proves a reduction in government power.
> extremes never before seen (freedom of speech)
There is a literally an EO on preventing online censorship. I'm not sure if you were in a Coma during Covid, but social media companies were censoring voices that have now shown to be entirely true.

Life-long classical liberal here. I don't know how you could arrive at these conclusions today.
I arrive at these conclusions the same way many of my classically liberal friends and fellow libertarians who support Trump do — by evaluating his actions through the lens of limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal restraint:
• DOGE and Fiscal Discipline: The goal of cutting $1 trillion from the federal budget, a major libertarian priority.
• Freedom of Speech: Consistently opposes online censorship. Appointed FCC commissioners like Ajit Pai and Brendan Carr, both strong defenders of free expression. Signed executive orders aimed at ending federal involvement in censorship.
• Deregulation: Slashed hundreds of federal regulations across multiple sectors, reducing government interference in markets and individual enterprise.
• Judicial Restraint: Appointed constitutionalist judges committed to limiting federal overreach and upholding individual rights.
• Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy: Opposed endless wars, pushed to bring troops home, and resisted entangling the U.S. in new conflicts.
• Ross Ulbricht: Publicly pledged to commute the sentence of the Silk Road founder, a major symbolic and substantive gesture for civil liberties and criminal justice reform.
How does one call themselves a classical liberal and not support this?

How can one be this delusional? I have the feeling you don't understand what a libertarian is or what the enlightenment was about
Instead of piecing together a well reasoned retort that refutes my arguments, you're calling me "delusional". Please learn how to disagree.

Where is the unique value add? It's like the only differentiation is that they ran sed 's/django/plain/g' across the repo.
This is an example of optimizing something that shouldn't exist. They can simplify all of this by adding Cloudflare tunnel or Wireguard to proxy traffic from the outside world to a k8s Service running in the cluster.
