Yes, time I am waiting for the tests that interest me. And sometimes it
fails because the source repository is not available.

This depends on the number of cores you have on Travis CI. Is this more
than one?

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/a
says that you can use Docker images in Travis CI too.

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages/share-docker-image/
shows how to trigger tests inside a Docker image.

I think the Docker route is the only way to minimize differences between
the build systems.
