(I guess yes) Yes, technically, it should work. Refer to my previous email on this list[1] for some URLs on Foreman. > Could a VLAN based BASE-Install be a problem to succeed with this scenario > (to have GRE on top of VLAN)?

There's active work on upstream for Docker support, so you ought to experiment and carefully note down observations, filing bugs along the way. And, it depends on _what_ you want to do with the LXC/Docker setup. If it's just to try it out, there's decent resources on the inter-webs.
