Digital Ocean DevContainer (Codespaces) or Docker For Installation

Summary

After reading this brilliant article on using Docker for running python locally I have to ask the question: Does anyone use Docker or Podman for QuantRocket?

I am pip'd out and I can't handle another dependency package locally. I am going to try and use docker desktop for my mac and I was wondering if anyone is using this approach.
Mac OS runs on Linux so I am hoping these are correct instructions.

What are recommendations on Digital Ocean Droplet and is that the same as a Codespace on Github where an Azure environment is setup in the background?
