I have a F25 64bit server - it is mainly used to run Qmail and EZMLM

install of Fedora Atomic Host onto this server, convert the Qmail +
EZMLM services into a Docker image to run on this new FPA server and
then move all my DO web sites on to this new FPA as Docker images as
well?
I think it very well might. However, do note that you'll likely be
rebooting this system more than you would a traditional server, because
that's required to install any bugfix or security updates on the host
itself. That means it really works best when you have a small cluster
with failover, or else don't mind a few minutes of downtime here and
there.
