Description
Based on https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/tree/main/install/docker#running-gitpod-as-a-docker-container, and now that Gitpod supports running docker in docker, I am assuming it is possible to run Gitpod as a Docker container, inside Gitpod.
This will allow testing and reviewing Gitpod latest updates, by following a simpler script, without the need for a local environment setup, or setup on a separate hosting service.
It will bring a true "click to contribute" (https://contribute.dev) to Gitpod itself.

Research direction
Start with the install/docker guide at https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/tree/main/install/docker#running-gitpod-as-a-docker-container and review how Gitpod's Docker-in-Docker support is exposed. Define the container startup and environment requirements for running Gitpod inside Gitpod, then verify that the resulting setup supports testing and reviewing Gitpod updates without a separate local or hosted environment.
