Running a container inside a VM is more usual.

I'm a bit of a noob, what is a container?

@Florens very very simply put : a lightweight VM for a single program.
Check Docker

@willol
Simply put, but not quite right. It's not a VM

@Florens A VM is fully separated from the host OS. So you have to install your own OS in the VM.
A container uses the kernel of the host OS, but the other components/services are in a separated "space".

@Florens Nope. It's a different story. :) As far as i know it only has the libraries and other runtime envs what is needed to run a windows program on linux. So it's not isolated from the host at (on?) any level.

A container is a prison for process!
They all run on the same os, they all have a part of the os resources but they cannot communicate or see each other (exept through the supervisor, which in this analogy is Docker)
