[ome-devel] Omero and docker

[Hadrien Mary]

Ok so I think I will take some of your work and use it inside my own
Dockerfile because at this stage it does not make really sense to open
PR inside your repo since it's in early stage development.

We stay in touch.

In the meantime, I will probably have more questions soon.

Best,
