I don't know anything about Docker myself but I know that multiple
BitFolk customers are using it. There's no issue using Docker (or
any other kind of container that works using the Linux kernel's own
containerisation features) on a Xen VM or any other kind of VM as
far as I am aware.

If we are talking Ubuntu here, do not try 20.04 yet. Obviously it's
not released yet but I've heard there is an issue with LZ4
compression and Xen.
And if not currently 64-bit, do switch to 64-bit.
18.04, no issues on 64-bit as far as I know.
Cheers,
Andy
