It might do, I haven’t had the time to investigate. It was 3-4 years ago when I had to make the decision. I remember there was some open source tools mentioned on some websites, but I certainly didn’t get the impression it was very easy to get it working.
I guess that was the appeal of Docker, they had done all the difficult part and created a product. But then it’s the ‘all eggs in one basket problem’, and other stuff you mentioned like the signing up for accounts etc.
I had so many other things to learn and build at the time, that the extra complication of containers didn’t make sense.
If I was in a situation where I was building out a fresh site I would for sure give LXD another look.
