Yeah, my only note is that Docker on Windows is… Kinda fucky? It uses WSL to run Linux in the background, which means that the volumes it creates aren’t easily accessible by Windows. If your container requires editing a config.json, for instance… That can be daunting for a newbie on Windows, because they won’t even know how to find the file.
You can work around this by mounting your volumes directly to a C:\ folder instead, but that’s something that many tutorials just completely skip past because they assume you already know that.
I’ve never understood the reason for WSL. If you want Linux, run Linux. At the very least in a VM.
I used to run Linux VMs in HyperV. It felt dirty.
