Hi Josh,

just a comment, I think Dockerfiles and images maintained by 
openmicroscopy would/will be great to have. The less lines I need to put 
in my Dockerfile, the less possibilities for errors :)  In fact, also 
not I first tried to use openmicroscopy/omero-base, but ran into some 
strange error which Google hits suggested might have something to do 
with AUFS and available number of layers. Just to try something, I 
copy-pasted omero-base and it's parent into one Dockerfile and made it 
start from ubuntu:14.04, and it worked.

Simon said you use Docker for testing and CI, I think this area would 
useful for us, who maintain the images based on the base images. I'd 
like to learn to set up a system where also the images I create are 
automatically tested, so that updates will be less worry.

Cheers,
Harri
