<https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-debian-9> Docker is an application that simplifies the process of managing application processes in containers.
Containers let you run your applications in resource-isolated processes. They’re similar to virtual machines, but containers
are more portable, more resource-friendly, and more dependent on the host operating system.
