Dockerfile

[jputrino]

• mount $HOME:$HOME (this allows us to use the .bash_profile/.bashrc customizations, i.e., make inside the container feel and look like outside the container)
• entry point will be a script that:
  • accepts a set of env variables from the RUN script and sets them internally
  • creates the right users, groups, and IDs
  • ???

Things to be addressed later:

• mounting $HOME can make docker builds too big and unwieldy
• security issues (from others and from self)

We can add the following RUN commands if we want to bake in conda:

RUN curl -O https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

RUN bash Anaconda3-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p /usr/local/anaconda/

RUN ln -s /usr/local/anaconda/bin/conda /usr/local/bin/conda
