you can just set up containers on your bare metal server. in fact if you're going to install insecure services you definitely want to containerize them, though tbh you need to run really far away from whatever it is you're doing that requires sql5, or at least don't let it be reachable on the internet, that should be network-isolated, which really limits its utility.

    While this is true, if you're running a platform that is root by default (looking at you, docker), you're not shielding yourself as much as you might think you are.

    If you're running an insecure app as root, you better hope they don't also have an exploit to get out of the container after the app is popped, otherwise you're fucked.
