- HEADLINE: Run testing or unstable containers with ease on stable
- DESCRIPTION:
I would absolutely love a well supported container system for running testing/unstable in a container. I feel that docker requires a lot upfront work with mixed results.
We often develop software using packages of the next debian version (such as Python 3.6) and these packages aren't always available in backports or otherwise outside of testing, in these cases it would be really nice to easily boot up this software in a container.

- pja 9y agoI know it’s not as lightweight as a container system, but I’ve had quite good experiences on this front with virt-manager (and it’s associated command-line tools virsh, virt-install et al). It’s straightforward to spin up fresh local virtual machines, and you get access to the full KVM infrastructure if you need it.
- hultner 9y agoThat is what I've been using as well but it would be nice with a more lean and lightweight system. Otherwise virsh, etc is really good, much more reliable then Docker from my experience.
