That's not the only thing I'm doing on this VM; as I pointed out, I'm consolidating lots of little hacks and projects that are running all over the place in different environments. I put each thing in its own container. Benefits:

- I can shutdown one of those "experiments" without affecting others. - If I want to migrate one of those things elsewhere (because it turns out to need more resources), it's already "Dockerized" (i.e. trivial to redeploy elsewhere). - When I remove one of those things, I don't have to worry about leftover packages, dependencies, files, etc. lying around.

Otherwise it would indeed be a poor use of my time :-)
