Docker requires management and some setup. A server snap just works, it’s updated automatically and rolls back when necessary.

It’s just a breeze. I use it for nextcloud and I’m safe for years with no maintenance from my side at all.

I won’t use it myself because I don’t think it’s a good idea to give Canonical or any other company that much power and don’t think it’s centralized nature should be how such package systems work but I don’t think it’s a bad system at all! The sandboxing has it’s hurtles but it’s really good and I am a huge fan of proper sandboxing so if it works for you it’s certainly a good option!

Auto updates are not an option for anything mission critical. Every update must be tested in isolation first or you might fuck things up beyond repair.

Updates are atomic and if something goes wrong it rolls back automatically

Not everything that goes wrong might be counted as wrong by the developers. Automatic updates is a no-no.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
