Well now, given that you just told us in the previous email

   as I do not use docker myself

allow me to add "very unironically" that such clean room installation tests
are among the things actually _best_ done in Docker which is why e.g. just
about every Continuous Integration service uses it.  Anyway....

Base installation combined with Docker for localized clean room testing makes
a lot of things _easier_ rather than harder.  Both can be used in isolation,
or together.  

Cheers,  Dirk
