Hi. You may have heard about Docker [0], a "lightweight containers" solution which is becoming quite popular.
I've experimented a bit with it to be able to install FusionForge inside a docker container, instead of having to run a full fledged VM [1]. I've documented the results in https://fusionforge.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fusionforge/index.php/Docker I've tested this using my Debian jessie/testing laptop, so YMMV. In principle, this allows to run FusionForge over Apache2 and PostgreSQL inside a container, and even allows sharing files between the host (where you run you text editor, etc.) and the guest (where you may immediately test the changes, provided you got rid of permission conflicts). It's not yet a complete procedure, as some personalization steps are required inside the guest to make sure everything runs smoothly, but that's a start, at least for basic plugin work in PHP over the DB. Any comments and improvements much welcome.
