Ask HN: Best way to run enterprise R/Python VM

[dkn775]

We have a bunch of agencies that want us to host and run their r and python scripts, so they can use the outputs in BI tools. Is there a free way to take a wide variety of working scripts install dependencies for R and Python and then run each on a schedule and maybe support project folder and the like? Thanks.

Docker/containers are a good baseline tool for this. + Some sort of cron for scheduling. If you want VM Isolation and free - check out Proxmox as a virtualization host. But you'll need to figure out scheduling.
