Is it possible to distribute an application in docker to hide its sources?

Question

Docker

Hello!
We need to install our application on the customer's server (python + postgresql), but we cannot open the source code of the application and the contents of the database.
Is it possible to wrap the application in Docker and somehow close it with a password so that without a password it is impossible to get inside the container, but at the same time it can be launched? Or is it not feasible with Docker and is it better to arrange everything as a virtual machine? If a virtual machine, which one is better to choose for a loaded web service?

Answer 1

Fuck it, this hasn't been figured out yet. I know only two ways to protect against theft.
1. Rewrite in C++ and use DRM - The protection is doubtful, but because you do not write games, then 100%. Nobody will mess with this.
2. Rewrite in C and sew code parts into microcontrollers, and combine microcontrollers into a cluster, and there is a mechanical apparatus with levers and buttons.
Microcontrollers can be used in two types:
a) Military microcontroller. This is the one in which the memory crystal is not protected and when activated by ultraviolet light, the memory is cleared.
b) Ordinary Chinese. After recording, do not forget to fill everything with epoxy.
There is another option, you don’t need to rewrite anything, but it is fraught with risks.
Build your own server. As a hard drive, you can choose such an SSD with a self-destruct function , the first circuit is an explosive, the second circuit is something like an emitter that displays electronics in the vicinity. Just don't play too hard, otherwise people in Iraq have mutated from this.
