I'm trying to launch OpenStudio-server on a local machine.

It seems that one can either use Vagrant or Docker. I have never used either, and they seem to overlap quite significantly. Even more confusing, apparently Vagrant can run Docker inside.

• Which one should I use? ¹
• Can I use neither if I have full control of the machine I want to install it on and do not want to deploy it later? ²

¹ Since I assume the answer is "it depends what you want to do", for context (see this question), I have other machines on my LAN network (Windows and Mac), on which I'd like to dispatch parametric runs.

² I've tried running ruby bin/openstudio_meta install_gems then ruby bin/openstudio_meta start_local --worker-number=2 --debug ~/OS-server-test/ but obviously it failed

It seems that one can either use Vagrant or Docker. (there's also AMI, but that's Amazon specific so I'm not interested). I have never used either, and they seem to overlap quite significantly. Even more confusing, apparently Vagrant can run Docker inside.
