  • Thanks for your input. I understand that Docker has a lower overhead compared to traditional VMs. Is there an easy way to move a docker container without using kubernetes? Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 12:24
  • Yes docker container is ran by image, just run the image on another machine. Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 12:26
  • I mean, is there an easy way to transfer a container (with my changes, i.e. apps I installed) to another computer, so that I can continue my work on the exact same Docker container, but on the other computer? Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 12:29
  • I don't know of such way, other than building new image of your working container and just running it on new machine. I'm sorry if I'm not helpful enough. Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 12:31

    Yes, @Socrates, there are ways. For example docker commit. You create an image with your changes, move the image somewhere, create a new container using that image. Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 12:37
