Nigel Jones commented on ATLAS-2012:
------------------------------------
* Instructions as a twiki sounds good. I'll extend the patch for that (just
getting rb setup)
* I think as a starting point, any backend that functions is ok... it could be
berkely, could be hive? Berkely may have a smaller footprint as it more
portable. On that basis I'd be inclined to agree
* If the image ends up being created after a full build, do you think it's
still valuable to run the unit tests within the docker image. To some extent I
agree, in case of any differences between the container environment and the
normal build environment. It will take more time, and since the build should
already be good might not be necessary but then if automated does time matter.
On balance I'd be inclined to agree so can make that change too
Thanks for the good points. will make those updates.

> Docker is increasingly become a standard way of easily running components in
> a flexible manner, whether for development, production, or test
> I feel there are a few things we can do with docker that will aid Atlas's
> appeal
> 1. We could provide a simple example of how to create a docker image from the
> Atlas build. This could be published on the wiki & it would make it easier
> for developers to use Atlas within a docker environment - mostly by
> addressing how to configure & start up
> 2. We could automatically generate a docker image as part of the build
> process. This builds on #1 by automating the creation of the image & making
> it "just part of the build"
> 3. We could publish the docker image from #2, for releases, to dockerhub,
> making it near trivial for any developer to easily pull down and experiment
> with Atlas. Full source of course would be provided/documented so that a user
> could customize as needed for their environment plus of course improve what
> is provided with the core project
> 4. We could work with other teams especially ranger, to allow similar efforts
> in other teams to easily work together & be orchestrated
