I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

The Dockerfile used to build the container controls what is in the container. It’s “infrastructure as code”-like. You create a script that builds the environment the application needs.
If you need a newer version of PHP you update the Dockerfile to include the new version. Then you publish the new container.
