Docker vs binary packages

The other day I had a conversation with a Operations Engineer who made a bold statement: “Sending us a docker container is not different from sending us a .deb package”
I do not agree with that statement at all but didn’t have the time to counter it, so instead I will write this blog post.

So what really is the difference between a deb package and a docker container?
Just a sidenote that .deb is just one example of a binary package, rpms and packages for other linux systems, could be another example. And I suppose the Windows term would be a msi package.

For [Be My Eyes](http://www.bemyeyes.org) I have set up a heroku like deployment environment

Basically I followed this approach:

But there is one problem with the above approach, and that is that I want to be able to push other branches than master to the server. Thats how I push to QA and staging.
A gooogle search found this for me:
