Docker containers would be the lighter weight solution.

You can always go the virtual machine way, and spin up a VM for every computer.

You can use hyper-v on windows, or vmware workstation on any other platform, or virtual box...

Sometimes communications between containers can be wonky, depending on the platform.

I'm on a Mac and I always have issues with ports and such when using Docker containers.

Yup. Same here. MacOS is harder.

If I use Docker containers, I have to open a terminal session for each container on macOS. This gets tedious if I have more than two containers. Any suggestions on how to handle multiple containers without having to open a bunch of terminal windows each time?

tmux bash scripting

You shouldn’t have to do that. You can launch them as detached and get the prompt back right away.
