[ome-devel] OMERO Docker image

[Simon Li]

Thanks Mark.

We're currently working on our OMERO installation/management tools, so we'll certainly bear in mind the ease of use with Docker and any other virtual environments. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

Best wishes

Simon

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).
