[ome-devel] OMERO Docker image

[Mark Woodbridge]

It's interesting - like a generic version of virtualenv. My OMERO image 
is a bit contrived - the database files should really be in a persistent 
volume shared with a separate psql instance (either standalone or in an 
additional, separate container) and the image files should similarly be 
in a data volume. But it can be extended easily, and the install 
script[1] is not Docker-specific, so may also be of use for automated 
installation of OMERO (though I guess you already have one of these for 
creating your VirtualBox VM).

Mark.
