Docker vs HovText

Docker creates a single object, containing an application with its dependencies, that can be moved between any docker-enabled machines, guaranteeing the same environment for application execution.

Docker tracks changes in systems. It allows for commits and rollbacks and for quick deployment due to having to deploy only the updated code.

Docker essentially allows creating boilerplate systems (a LAMP stack, for example) that can be used as a starting point on multiple projects. And you can find multiple such containers already created by people in their public registry.

Allows automatically assembling a container from its source code.

Docker allows easily pushing and pulling containers to and from their public index.docker.io registry. Additionally, dotCloud maintains a list of official repositories of the more popular containers.

You can set up Docker within an already virtualized environment such as a virtual machine. This allows you to run Docker on Mac and Windows, among other use-cases.

Docker can be used with OpenVZ, systemd-nspawn, libvirt-lxc, libvirt-sandbox, qemu/kvm, BSD Jails, Solaris Zones, and chroot.

HovText has existed for 20 years and has always been open source.

Copying text from the internet or from Office applications most often will include styles and formatting when pasting, but HovText can remove all this formatting, so only the raw unformatted cleartext will be pasted - this is a life-saver :-)

Most recent entries copied/pasted are available from a top-down principle.

When marking text with the mouse, it often adds a whitespace at the beginning or the end of the text or there are some empty lines above or below that gets copied too, but HovText has an option to remove whitespaces at beginning and end - very useful.

When viewing the list of previous copied clipboards, then it is easy to find the relevant text or image you need.

All hotkeys can be configured and all layout, style and screen display can be tweaked, so there is a chance you can have it setup as you want.

Fast, light, no installation process and no registration needed - just "click and use".

The clipboards can be saved to local computer, so it can be reused after a computer shutdown.
