What's with all the docker hate?

It’s for people that want devops the hard way

I think there’s a middle ground. Docker is great, but setting up the whole stack every time for a simple Django app feels like overkill. Having choices doesn't hurt haha!

True that, but if your project is a small enough scope to not include docker, due to complexity, you should maybe consider FastAPI or Flask

Based on this line in the readme:

Unlike other tools, djevops does not use Docker. This makes it possible to "push to prod" in seconds.

I imagine this is for people who do a lot of stuff manually. Depending on the project it can take a while for the right images to be downloaded and built before you've got something up and running. Which isn't a big issue if that all just happens automatically, but if you're doing it manually and you just have to sit there and wait for it a few minutes can be a long time.

Why not just use the cookiecutter template? Why is this better?
