Docker image for easy installation

[braaannigan]

Can there be a docker image that one can pull with everything installed?

That's a good idea. I'll set up a docker file that follows master.

@braaannigan - do you have any experience trying to run MPI applications inside docker images?

I've set one up, but am struggling to get the model to run, since docker images automatically log users in as root and openmpi complains bitterly about that.

Reading around it seems that running MPI on docker is tricky - it may be that singularity is built more with this in mind: https://singularity.lbl.gov/docs-hpc

Might need to ask around about this...
