This is the perfect use case for running containers on your development |
13 |
machine. Just set up lxc/lxd/docker on your gentoo machine and start up an |
14 |
ubuntu container in any of the runtimes. Works flawlessly, and you don't |
15 |
have to reboot or run a heavyweight VM. Lxc/lxd are more suitable for long |
16 |
running containers, docker would be great for containers that you spin up |
17 |
and tear down whenever you need. |
