It (SBBS) absolutely won't destroy your host in any scenario.

I've never really seen the point of docker.  Seems like a lot of extra 
work for..... what?  Security?  I'm on a home LAN and am not worried 
about that.  As for backups etc... not sure how it could really be 
easier than an automated rsync (or similar) every night, to both a LAN 
device, and an off-location device.  But anyway.... <SHRUG>.
