In all the reading I've done over the last few weeks I got the impression Docker is the preferred method... in fact I thought I saw it again in the official JF 'faq' that explains about what JF is and makes suggestions about how it should be setup but I could be mistaken about that. Cause I read it many different places. And if it's not preferred I'd like to know.
From what I understand a container isolates JF and provides it with all its needed resources and makes it easy to migrate to another server if necessary (just copy the container over... again don't take anything I'm saying as fact - I know nothing, these are the impressions I got or things I think I remember), and also if you installed another platform on the same server (like a Plex or Channels server), each platform/server would be in its own container and so resources are better managed and they can all coexist without stepping on each others feet, essentially.
I have no plans of doing that now but I always like to 'future proof' my setups to leave them as flexible as possible in case as I grow in my knowledge I decide to expand.
Anyone who knows better than I do (which is everyone reading this) please correct me if I got anything wrong.
