Is Docker suitable for creating a sandboxed development environment?

Question

C++ / C#

I need to work with a bunch of libraries that are installed and built on pure Linux for about a day.
What if I deploy ubuntu to docker and put all the libraries there, and then I fumble the container in the team so that they do not configure? Is Docker suitable for these purposes? What problems might arise?
If not, what can be used instead?

Answer 1

You can pick up problems due to the peculiarities of your software.
You need to know right away
- how your software will be distributed further - also in a container, or everything will be statically linked, or ...
- who will monitor the relevance of your set of libraries
- setting up the building process on the machine - those every night a separate (or not separate) machine should build your software and run tests
- "pure" (vanilla?) Linux - a strange choice

Answer 2

Yes, it will.
