Actually, since I am unfamiliar with the requirements to run a lisp script I thought a docker image would provide all necessary dependencies (SBCL? Quicklisp?) without the necessity to investigating myself and installing them directly on my machine.

Secondly, after this would be obviously installed for checking and testing functionality for meeting my personal the requirements, it is much more easy to uninstall all dependencies by stopping and removing a container then manually removing all packages in case of not needing it.

Thirdly, a service like that would be installed on my home server, which separates the OS installation and other extra services by having all extra services inside docker containers keeping the OS "clean".

Makes sense. Are you familiar with how to create one? Because I’m not, but I’d volunteer to link to one.

SBCL is a package on most Linux distributions, Quicklisp is a package manager for SBCL: https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/#installation
