Currently running a virtual machine in QEMU in a docker image which itself is running in a virtualized linux instance on OSX, because I want to compile MS-DOS 4.0 on my laptop for fun.

Toot

Up to the point where I obtain the #Freedos 1.3 USB image and use guestfish to swap out FDAUTO.BAT, bringing the #reedos system right to the C:> prompt.

Getting to this point takes ~2GB of dependencies and because of virtualization, I need to cheat a bit on the docker image creation and rely on the host kernel image release version being available as a linux-image package in Ubuntu. This means that the produced docker image is less portable but there's not a great way around it.
