  There's [docker](https://github.com/michaelmcandrew/civicrm-buildkit-docker), there's [vagrant](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-buildkit-vagrant) but there isn't a pre-built VM setup.
  
  I can probably knock something up next week if there's a demand for it (we have a local Ubuntu 18.04 BuildKit VM which we have templated for re-use.
