The previous commenter said that they didn't want to run a shell script that does "god knows what". The implication being that they would not trust the writer of the shell script.
They wanted a docker container that would setup this offline AI workspace for them, presumably so they could interact with the AI and feed "secrets" or otherwise private data into it. Obviously there are other use cases for an offline AI, but folks tend to let their guard down when they think something is offline-only, and they may not be as careful with .env values, or personal information, as they would with a SaaS frontier model.
So I was pointing out that the contents of the docker container would be also doing "god knows what" with their data. Sure they would get the offline user experience but then what happens? More shell scripts? Background data calls? etc. And of course it depends on how they configure their docker container, but if they aren't willing to review an install shell script, they probably aren't looking to do any level of effort for configuring Docker.

I wasn't implying docker itself was the issue.

Hopefully that clarifies it.
