+### 5.xx. How can I run linters or fixers via Docker or a VM?
+
+ALE supports running linters or fixers via Docker, virtual machines, or in
+combination with any remote machine with a different file system, so long as the
+tools are well-integrated with ALE, and ALE is properly configured to run the
+correct commands and map filename paths between different file systems. See
+`:help ale-lint-other-machines` for the full documentation on how to configure
+ALE to support this.
