> Running multiple servers at work where I set up containers that I gave collegues access to and such. I find that the "VM's but not" approach quite nice.

Out of curiosity, why? Wouldn't it be easier to give them a URL and tell them to execute "docker run ..." to get the same environment?

My use case is to let others use the HW I manage, not to have a known linux environment.

Either if someone wants to run something as an internal service (logging, ect) which should not depend on their desktop being online, or they need beefy HW.
