I will try to attend, is this conference hosted by Easybuild on Google
Hangout.
The EasyBuild User Meeting is not a regular EasyBuild conf call, it's an
actual 3-day meeting, see https://indico-jsc.fz-juelich.de/event/30/ .
We do have some plans to try and record the presentations, but nothing
100% sure yet.
It would be interesting to see how docker works in RHEL7. I recall
that Redhat is now providing their own docker images, I would suspect
they would be taking security into consideration.
Docker is not a good fit in an HPC context, for several (mostly
security-related) reasons.
RedHat may be providing Docker images, but certainly not in an HPC context.
See
http://singularity.lbl.gov/faq#how-does-singularity-relatediffer-from-docker
for some information on why Singularity is a more viable solution in an
HPC context.
We have some plans for working together with the Singularity community
to see how EasyBuild can be used to populate Singularity
containers/images, which is probably what you are after.

Kenneth

I meant to say is there any benefit of using docker container vs rpm
for deploying software packages on a HPC system. If so, I don’t see
any support for creating docker images from eb directly.
I think Singularity is a more interesting prospect here (come to the
EasyBuild User Meeting in February, one of the developers will be
there). I don't know any large HPC sites that allow docker containers
(mainly due to security problems).
