Alpine makes a great docker container, because it is so small and optimized to be run in RAM. It might also might make a good controller for several docker containers with enough RAM. I haven't tested this yet Docker's setup is easy to use from command line. Commands can be run from an interactive shell, or through a configuration file called a "dockerfile". docker.com has excelent walkthroughs on how to run, pull, setup a container, commit an image, and create a configuration file. docker.com is a freemium setup, where the first repository is free.

To install from Alpine

apk add docker
