Until he actually had to use it.

Took 2 hours of reading through examples just to deploy the site.
Turns out, it is hard to do even just the bash stuff when you can’t see the container.

    allow you to ssh into the box itself (Gitlab/Circleci)

    In that case, things just get way easier. I can just check it out like a normal system.

      yep! After doing CI/CD for close to 10 years, its one of the things Travis/CircleCI/GitLab has done that make it soooo much easier to debug. Saves time and sanity. Because as much as we hate it, sometimes the only way to debug is to actually dig into the system your working under.

      Docker helps as well.
