Running an arbitrary thing in Docker is far easier than without it. If I want to run the PHP/MySQL-based Matomo, I can just grab the ready-made docker-compose.yml [0] and tell my main nginx to proxy_pass onto it. I don’t need to figure out how to configure MySQL/MariaDB/PHP-FPM and what hacks did my distro introduce to it (at least I’m not using Debian/Ubuntu, so there shouldn’t be that many). Similarly, I can get Zulip in Docker [1] (even if it’s apparently in alpha state) and not mess with the Python packaging trainwreck, and also setting up all of Redis, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and memcached.

It looks like they are based on Docker; I imagine they could use https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip. It seems like Cloudrun packages other apps, not the other way around?
We (the Zulip core community) recently adopted the main third-party Docker implementation for Zulip (now https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip), and have been hard at work on cleaning it up and making its documentation high quality.
It's not at the level of polish we want it to be yet (which is why we recommend the "dedicated machine/VM" installation flow, which is super polished). But we expect the Docker setup to be quite nice in a couple months.
