Containers are quite basic things nowadays, there are a number of types 
that can be used out of the box on Linux

lxc, lxd, xen, docker

which one you use, depends on what you like and your skills.

A good place to start could be 
https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/getting-started/ and I'm quite sure you 
can find a lot more howtos and beginners guides using your favorite 
search engine.

They are written in quite plain English, even people with another 
language than English as mothertongue manages to understand them and if 
you don't there are translation to other languages like German too.

You can also read the info page instead, tend to have a lot more to read.
