Unless you're running some crazy old Windows version
The fact that on mac and windows it uses a VM doesn't mean that Docker itself is a virtualization technology. It's a Linux thing, but not virtualization
Lets say you have a dedicated with 256gb ram and a ok cpu
-Make 1 vm with 255gb ram, and use that vm to make a vm with 254gb ram, and so on and so on. I wonder where it will meet a wall and get unstable. Would be a fun experiment doing on a late saturday after 2 bottles of vodka just for fun.

When the CPU chunks out the ass of the server. You would also need to hope no VPS has a hang up, that will kill it as well.
If we are talking hypothetically then, on paper it will not end until you overuse the resources so badly there is not enough left for overhead.
This should be asked if some crappy providers around here and their overselling from hell.

Instead of the 2 bottles of vodka, make it a drinking game. 1 shot for every VM you create, see who lasts longer, you or the dedi.

Technically you can, hello docker?
This is going for years. Even some providers nest virtualization within virtualization.
Google: nested virtualization
yes
We support nested virtualization on all our KVM VPS products, if you need a provider for this.

Think OP might need to do some research on his own. Google is a wonderful tool to be used for just this purpose.
You can install LXC, this is the most lightway way to create containers inside VM.
Of course one can but not every provider and product supports it. And you of course loose performance.
Docker != Virtualization
