I've heard a lot about Docker lately, but I don't really understand what it is or how it functions. I checked their GitHub page, but it wasn't very helpful. Can anyone break it down for me in simple terms?

Docker is essentially a tool that lets you create and manage "containers". Think of a container as a lightweight environment that can run applications in isolation, without needing a full virtual machine. This means you can easily deploy and run software without worrying about the underlying system. It's all about making it easier to run software consistently across different environments!
So, would that mean if something works on my machine, it should work in a Docker container too, right?
