Thanks Larry, thats a very nice description. I would add that if you want to setup a 'lab environment' where you might have a few more packages, e.g. matplotlib, pandas etc. you could write your own Dockerfile, using our image as a base. This works as follows:
FROM fenicsproject/stable-ppa:latest MAINTAINER <[email protected]> RUN any_command_you_like_here The really clever bit is because of Docker's 'layered file systems' this should only take a few megabytes more of disk space over and above our image. Another nice side-effect of the layered file system is that you can have as many containers running as you want. I ran 100 fenics containers (!) on my laptop the other day and the disk and CPU overhead was negligible. More practically I usually run one per project.
