I created a simple docker setup which allows you to run a private 3 node network here https://github.com/FreekPaans/bitcoin-multi-node-regtest

2 ways.

1. `bitcoind --regtest --printtoconsole`
2. Configure bitcoin.conf and include a line `regtest=1`.

Second way is better so usage of bitcoin-cli is less verbose.
