You can host the files comprising the Blockly Solo server (available here) on your own PC, along with the Blockly client software that can be downloaded from Parallax. That covers everything except the C compiler, which I'm not sure about. Maybe someone else can weigh in?
The compiler is implemented as a Docker container on the Solo web site. One could install Docker on the desktop and run the container as localhost:5001. That's how we do it internally in out dev and test systems.
I can push up the latest to out Docker Hub account if there is any interest.

Please do Jim. I have Docker available locally here on this laptop.
I posted the latest release of the compiler Docker image up on Docker Hub. Docs are really sparse and I will be happy to flesh them out as we go along.
And that worked. The big problem was running it. First I tried the instructions on the same page as the two containers. Complaint was received from the docker command line tools. Then I entered instead
docker run parallaxhub/solocompiler:1.3.11
.
From that I got the screen I expected, which was the whole business starting up. Which is contributed below:

That is what is expected? We can discuss that later.
That is exactly what it should do. There is a Rest API sitting on top of the compiler. You can verify that the service is running by opening a browser and pointing it to:
http://localhost:5001/version
The service should report back something similar to:

But then this happens: It seems Moby back there is still working on it. I'll try again later.

The service should report back something similar to:
{"success": true, "simpleLibraryVersion": "v1.4.152", "applicationVersion": "1.3.11"}When Solo detects that is is running from localhost, it will attempt to contact the compiler service at localhost:5001 when you compile a project.
