    Think of a container like a self contained box that can be configured to contain everything a program may need to run.

    You can give the box to someone else, and they can use it on their computer without any issues.

    So I could build a container that contains my program that hosts cat pictures and give it to you. As long as you have docker installed you can run a command “docker run container X” and it’ll run.

      Well, I wasn’t the one asking, but I learned from that nonetheless. Thank you!
