Alternatives to docker

docker is an agent skill by Companion-Inc: Execute research code inside isolated Docker containers for safe replication, experiments, and benchmarks. If it doesn't fit your setup, these 12 agent skills cover similar ground. They are ordered by how closely they match docker and by our rank, which weighs adoption, freshness and documentation; money never changes the order. n8n-self-hosting leads the list (supports bash). Each entry shows data reasons to switch, and you can open a side-by-side comparison with docker.
