It's the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.
Really, I just don't like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.
Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.
Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.
I have no counter points, can't argue with that. ๐
