Yesterday, I was asked to create a Docker server for specific software distributed as a Docker Compose file. I created an Alpine Linux VM, copied the Compose file, and ran it. Everything is working perfectly.
This morning, the person who provided the file asked me about the Ubuntu version of the VM. When I replied that it's an Alpine Linux host, they insisted that Alpine Linux doesn't work because "Docker works properly only on Ubuntu." I tried to explain that it doesn't matter, as the Compose file doesn't require any Ubuntu-specific commands (it's just pulling images from Docker Hub), but they are insisting that I need to install Ubuntu or they won't proceed with the operations.
I'm so disheartened to see such closed-mindedness.
