It often happens that a borrowed term is used to name a phenomenon. It is quickly assimilated in the language and is already perceived on a par with other words. This happened with the noun "docker." What does it mean? Let's find out about it, and also do its phonetic, morphological and morphemic analysis.
What does docker mean?
This term came to the Russian language from English. In both languages, the word docker has the same meaning. So called port movers or dock workers (facilities for the construction, inspection or repair of ships).
As for the etymology of the word being studied, there are two versions of the origin of the given name of the profession.
According to the first, the term is derived from the noun dock (dock) plus the suffix –er (-er), which is traditionally used to form the name of professions. For example: teach (learn) + -er = teacher (teacher) or speak (speak) + -er = speaker (speaker, speaker), drive (drive, drive a car) + -er = driver (coachman, driver, driver) and etc.
The second theory of the origin of the word docker is also based on its "kinship" with the noun dock. However, in this case, the term has a slightly different meaning - cut of.
Probably, in this version we are talking about the tradition of launching ships on the water and at the same time cut or chop fastening ropes. So according to this theory, it turns out that the docker is a person who cuts the ropes, that is, lowers the ship into the water.
Whichever version is closer to the truth, we can certainly say that the representative of this profession must work in the port.
The novel and the movie "Docker" 1973
In addition to the name of the profession, “Docker” is also the title of the book of Georgy Kholopov about youth of the 20-30s of the twentieth century.
In 1973, on the basis of this work, a movie of the same name was shot.
Unfortunately, today it is no longer possible to see it.
The fact is that during the shortage of the film, Docker was considered a painting with "low artistic value." That is why it was literally washed away, and on top of it some other film was shot on film.
At the same time, film historians do not cease to hope that, perhaps, somewhere in the archives of film studios a forgotten copy of this picture is gathering dust and is waiting for its “archaeologist”.
As for the cast, the Docker was played by such Soviet artists as Evgeny Leonov-Gladyshev, Marina Dzhanashiya, Nikolay Gritsenko, Efim Kopelyan, Rolan Bykov, Elena Sanaeva and others.
By the way, it was on this project that Bykov and Sanaev met. Although the actress was fourteen years younger than Rolan Antonovich, this did not prevent their happiness. Together they lived twenty-five years. At the same time, the couple became not only a wonderful couple, but also a rather fruitful creative union.
Together, Sanaeva and Bykov starred in such famous tales as "The Adventures of Pinocchio", "The Village of Utka", "The Adventures of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and other projects. At the same time, it all started with Docker.
What is a docker?
Among other things, Docker (docker) is also the name of open source software. It is designed to automate the work of managing applications and deploying them in an OS environment.
In fact, this software makes it possible to "package" any application, together with its entire environment and dependencies, into a so-called "container". In the future, it can be ported to any Linux system with cgroups support in the kernel. In addition, Docker also provides an environment for managing these "containers."
At first, this software used the capabilities of the LXC visualization system. However, in 2015, it began to use its own library, abstracting the capabilities of the Linux kernel - libcontainer.
With the advent of the Open Container Initiative, Docker began the transition to a modular architecture from monolithic.
The Docker logo is a cute blue whale loaded with sea containers. Under the weight of his cargo, he is immersed in water above eye level.
