Ted noting too there may be a daily limit to the number of docker images which a user with a free account can push to Docker's image repository.  Docker's image repository provides URLs of the form <code>https://hub.docker.com/u/&lt;user_name&gt;</code>, where username is the given person's Docker account user name.

Interestingly, mounting the device /dev/sr0 within the guest OS provides access to several files which we did not see or explicitly install when installing VirtualBox framework software.  Scripts to set up needed Linux kernel modules are among these files at <code>/media/cdrom</code>.

^ Container Software

A promising starting point, collection of six articles / tutorials on Docker containers:

(1) https://medium.com/sysf/docker/home

A general note following about three days' Docker container experimentation, and to question "should I be using a Docker container interactively, running multiple apps, some simultaneously?". (Note the following forum post chain is a quagmire of issues and opinions!):

(2) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7950326

^ Docker

Notes on Docker containerizing software. Note, to get a practical start it is a good and or needed step to create a user account with Docker dot com. Single user and free accounts with some advanced Docker features disabled are available. A good starting tutorial for beginners is written by one Brian Hogan of Digital Ocean, this article published 2018 July 5. First reference in list here:
