This sounds great, I'll have to take a look. I've recently been smitten with Lars' PDP-10 ITS system build on github, and I'm wrestling with trying to provide a more easily accessible version for Windows users by providing turnkey chocolatey (https://www.chocolatey.org) packages, but now you've got me wondering if something like this might be a better approach. Did you consider Docker at all?
