@snep (this would've been the case with the example I gave; the update changed quite a lot in that one file, not just the one line patch I added, so if the old file was overlaid on the new app version it would've broken and caused some data inconsistencies)

Snep :floofHappy:
In response to this post@gsuberland That's true, but as with every patch applied to any piece of software, it's a good idea to look into the newest version and what has changed before applying existing patches. In a VM, jail or LXC, you would've had to manually check the target file with each update of the software to see if it has changed and then apply the patch manually if not. Sounds like the same kind and roughly the same amount of effort as you would have with a dockerized implementation ^^
@snep if the patch was wiped away it would at least be in stock condition, and re-applying the patch would be familiar.
