[PLUG] q. about docker-engine overhead

[Ron Mansolino <rmsolino@gmail.com>]

How much overhead will a (mostly gratuitous) install of docker put on a (mostly unused) VPS?

I have no overwhelming *need* to install it, other than testing it and putzing around so I can pad the skills section on my resume.

Should I crib together a PC at home to experiment on, and what sort of services lend themselves to containerization? (eg. the examples I've seen all demonstrate with MongoDB; why would you wrap a database in middleware?).
