I would love to be able to use piper as a external container for several reasons. it would also simplify your workload. you wont have to deal with issues related to piper performance or compatability.

Wow. If this container is working then it will be much easier for people to use piper without trying to install it. I'll think about integrating this.

@p0n1 I got a version of this working here, though it diverges a bit with some of the existing patterns, would love a little feedback, happy to tweak it!
