apparently, and I know next to nothing about this, you can use an automated option via Ansible.

I also know pretty much nothing about ansible. And while that could be a learning opportunity in itself, I'd like to challenge myself to get it running through docker. It would be one of the more complex things I've set up.
Sounds pretty fun! I have a spare laptop running Linux Mint. I would like to try running my own instance and sharing it with a few users. Below are the specs. Do you think it will be powerful enough, and if so, how many users would it be able to handle?
Dell Inspiron 15-5000
CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U, 2 cores, 4 threads
RAM: 8GB
Storage: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB
This is really just a guess, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run an instance with a handful of users on that machine. Just don't expect too much.
