> It may be worth looking into Docker - it’s a lighter weight way to run multiple, separated instances of applications, compared to VMs. Generally speaking, you’ll have the best experience running it on a Linux host (which can, itself, be a virtual machine, in a real ‘nesting-doll’ type of situation). Once you’ve got Docker, I highly recommend using a GUI frontend like [portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) to manage your actual containers. You can also pull down community-created Ignition templates: [https://hub.docker.com/r/…](https://hub.docker.com/r/kcollins/ignition)
