Yes, but call the pattern "container minimal". Calling it "server" makes it seem like it's for a... you know... server. Which elicits thoughts of a physical machine in my language.
Absolutely. A virtual server too, but first and foremost real iron.
Less and less true, these days. Actually, I believe the percentage of server systems running on their dedicated physical machines is already decreasing for 10-15 years.
Maybe not quite that far back, but as Claudio says, the word "server" elicits thoughts of a physical machine.
Roughly 10 years ago I was system architect at Ford (as a consultant). We were put through a physical to virtual migration. It actually failed for reasons I never understood, but they were certainly aggressively trying to consolidate physical servers into virtual platforms. I'm a fan of docker, but I think of it more like a full application environment than I do as a server environment. "Minimal Server" doesn't strike me as something focused on docker setups. Specifically, I do a lot of local processing. Having docker containers to address different processing needs seems ideal to me, but admittedly I haven't actually done much of that yet.
