Description
When integration tests were initially developed, running crossbar in docker seemed like the easiest option. Now that we have developed fixtures for starting things like agents automatically for each test, likely we could write a fixture for starting a crossbar server outside of a docker container.
This could allow us to drop the dependency on running docker for running the tests, which is appealing. It could also reduce the amount of time spent waiting for containers to start/stop during integration testing.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing integration-test fixtures for automatically starting agents and the current Docker-based Crossbar setup. Determine how a fixture could start Crossbar directly, then verify that the integration tests run without Docker and spend less time starting and stopping containers.
