I was a WordPress developer with a problem – I needed an environment for things to work well which meant setting up a database, a web server, and support for the languages I’ll be using. That made sense but my problem was that installing these components can get delicate and when installed, they might not all see eye to eye. I found it more than compatible with WordPress and I was able to set up local work environments with various kinds of tools /web servers. That means the host (my ‘old’ computer) and the guest (the container) share resources and everything still runs like a charm. The containers are isolated from each other; this helps limit the communication between them which, in turn, increases security. Once you’re finished working on the container, you can just remove it; as simple as that.
