I don’t know the economics either but I bought a used truck in Dec 20 and after 6months or a year the dealer started calling me every month or so with an offer to buy it back at more than I bought it for. It was really crazy.

My parents bought a their car when their lease was up then sold it back for a profit around the same time. Just to add to the anecdotes.

No issues and it’s something I’ve done for a long time but it is adding extra overhead for a problem that using docker has largely solved for me re stable environments.

Identical or very similar set up for production and testing. Testing doubles as on site back up for me.
