can you explain a bit more on the architecture you would like to present?

The project isn't build in such a way you need to be a developer to run it (though few manual steps needs to be taken ATM)
on a linux machine:
1. git clone https://github.com/mgoldboi/oVirt-Dockerized.githttps://github.com/mgoldboi/oVirt-Dockerized.git
2. cd oVirt-Dockerized/Build
3. sudo make ovirt

this procedure will build latest oVirt version container and a database container initialize with oVirt scheme.

Since i haven't seen so much interest from the community around this area,
I haven't generated new images for 3.5.1 (only for the clean rpm image).

regarding upgrades, since this basically a POC for ovirt in a container, upgrade isn't supported yet.
which means you have 2 options ATM:
-upgrade from within the container[1]  
-swap the oVirt container (3.5.0 -> 3.5.1) and stay with the same DB (you may need to upgrade the scheme manually, save/restore certificates) [2][3]

same procedure as above.
let me know if you have more questions.

Moran.
