I am not really a Docker user, so I mainly wonder,

  • Is Docker really free?
  • Is Docker deployment on a real server free?
  • Where do I host Docker images? Do I need to host Docker images?
  • Can Docker be used outside web dev?

Alright, I have truly used Docker once; to deploy Electron Builder for Mac and Linux. I believe it feels like running a small Linux VirtualBox with Wine; but might be smaller and much better than downloading a whole Ubuntu, and install it on a VirtualBox...

Maybe I can install Binaries and Runtimes on Docker as well.

As you already used Docker. I think you got answers of your questions.
