Run under docker or similar
At the time of writing of this guide we don't provide out of the box docker images so you have to make your own. It's of a moderate difficulty but in the end it makes it easier to learn how to customize the final image. So in my opinion it a net possitive when it comes to total effort invested.
make your own docker image
start docker
create a directory for the image
mkdir nice_project
cd nice_project
write some magic to the Dockerfile
nano Dockerfile
FROM alpine:edge
RUN apk update && apk upgrade
RUN apk add hinsightd
CMD ["hinsightd"]
and build and start the container
sudo docker build -t nice_project .
sudo docker run nice_project -p 80:8080 --rm -it nice_project
that should create an image that listens on the internal 8080 port, has it's config files at /etc/hinsightd/ and the docroot for the default vhost at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
