I would like to help, but my computer is not very powerful
-Computer-
Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3420 @ 3.20GHz
Memory : 8037MB (4978MB used)
Machine Type : Desktop
Operating System : Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
User Name : peterm (Peter Merchant)
Date/Time : Wed 25 Mar 2020 10:02:24 GMT
The usual questions: which of these two methods uses the least power/resources?
I have not used Containers , though I did use VMware a while ago.
What would be the best route to follow, stick it on the machine, or somehow
learn about containers/the best virtual machine ware to use?
Help.

I guess that's pretty much what we would do.
It's all fine, they're built to be pretty resilient to that sort of thing.
I do see the completion ETA fluctuate wildly after switch-on, but really I
should stop staring at the stats and get on with work anyway :-)
Thanks.
BTW. What are the benefits of running these tools in a container as
opposed to
just installing them?
Just convenience really. I don't like to install anything 'bare' on the
system and much prefer everything to be containerized, so that I know
exactly what's on it and can recreate it if needed. Speaking of which...
For simplicity I think I'll do it bare, especially since I'd have to work out
how to containerise the software on two Windows machines as well as this
desktop.
Anyone who is not an ansible geek like me can stop reading here. :-)
I'm not an ansible geek so I ignored the rest :-)
Thanks for the info.
