ALT Linux container micro how-to:

Docker: https://en.altlinux.org/Docker
  Quick start:
    # docker run -it alt:sisyphus
    [root@28fd15798968 /]# apt-get update
    [root@28fd15798968 /]# apt-get install clang rpm-build

  It will install clang-7.0.

systemd-nspawn:
   Images are at http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/images/Sisyphus/cloud/
   Quick start:
   # machinectl pull-tar --verify=no http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/images/Sisyphus/cloud/alt-sisyphus-rootfs-systemd-x86_64.tar.xz alttest
   # systemd-nspawn -M alttest
   [root@alttest ~]# apt-get update
   [root@alttest ~]# apt-get install clang rpm-build

There is also LXD support: https://en.altlinux.org/LXD

ps. If you going to use binary clang from http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#9.0.0
I would recommend version clang+llvm-9.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-14.04.tar.xz
and `ln -snf x86_64-alt-linux /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux` to
workaround `cannot find -lgcc` error.

Thanks,
