As far as I know Docker container is a linux-only technology as it
uses the cgroup feature of linux kernel. Docker on Windows uses
VirtualBox  to first emulate linux kernel and then run containers on
it. So I dont think non-linux should be a concern.
For database storage, we can probably have a convention that inside
container, /mnt/tdb/ is where all databases are stored. If anyone
wants to attach db from host they can do so with docker run -v
/host/db/path:/mnt/tdb/ jena/fuseki

AFAICT Docker can manage windows-native containers.

Whether you would want to deal with those is another question.
