Containers building strategy

[thomasarsouze]

Rational

• Define a strategy for containers / images constructions
• Do we provide docker and / or singularity images ?
• Where do we store containers ?
• How frequently do we build updated containers ?

Inspiration can be the Jupyter strategy:

Providing a stack of Docker images to ease the writing of a new one.

Another inspiration (although similar spirit) can be found on the Pangeo project:

https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo-docker-images

It provides a stack of docker images with different sets of python libraries included. A modification of the requirement.txt file launches the build of new updated images.
