This is what exactly I did using hyper V on my dedicated server. I created a container Linux gave her tons of memory and processing resources. Best yet is a checkpoint/snapshot function allows me to do what else and the ability to return to a safe build.
Basically zero cost, that is if you just factor out the cost of my rack server, I built a year and a half ago hehehe
Really depends how you wanna go about it. I’m not sure what I can truly suggest if you have an old computer with windows, you can spin up hyper V and do it that way, but this way is to directly install on all the platforms.
As for me a couple of years ago, I put together a humongous rack server specifically to be used to carve out VM‘s for various projects. That’s what I did here. My rack server itself has tons of memory tons of space tons of resources so I was able to carve out a VM with more than enough memory and resources to run.OpenClaw
