This is good example, but I think I need to clarify what I am looking for. This example is good for deploying Easybuild as container.
I meant to say is there any benefit of using docker container vs rpm for deploying software packages on a HPC system. If so, I don’t see any support for creating docker images from eb directly. It seems like a standard process for creating docker container. One will need to contain the files specified by –install-path of that package along with the module file generated from easybuild. Right now, easybuild does that automatically when enabling --package I think docker would be particularly useful when you finish a easybuild installation that requires starting a daemon, web-server that is part of a software. One example is Material Studio, this software is installed on a server that runs as a service on a particular port that is used by Material Studio client that runs on Windows to connect to the server via the MStudio service.

I'll try to provide some more information later.

I am looking at ways to self-contain all the dependencies in container objects to properly deploy software packages and its dependencies. We are trying to build a software collection that contains all of our software builds, either through rpms or docker containers that can be used by our HPC-users to customize their installation on their VM. Does anyone have any experience with this? Regards, Shahzeb Siddiqui HPC Linux Engineer B2220-447.2 Groton, CT
