Excellent! I wanted to, and after few trials and errors I finally did! And it’s pretty easy (as with all things you know when you learn it). For a start I will warn you a bit - SSISDB isn’t the database you just backup on one server and restore on another. There are some more steps to do.
For my everyday tests with SQL Server I use VirtualBox. SQL Server 2017 is/will be a huge thing - mostly because it will be available on Linux. If so - I should get comfortable with using it on Linux.
Posts about SQL Server, SSIS and automation for my future self, but you might find something useful.
