The Docker containers described by https://github.com/ocaml/opam-dockerfiles somehow set the OPAMSWITCH environment variable. I haven't been able to find where or why this variable has been set and it causes many opam commands to be more heavyweight than necessary which makes interactive use annoying. For instance, after switching compilers, you must run something like
``` eval `opam config env --switch=system` ``` if OPAMSWITCH is set. When is OPAMSWITCH necessary? Why? What sets it? I'm really enjoying using the opam Docker containers because it means that a fresh, minimal, throwaway OPAM install is just a `docker run -it --rm -v ~/Code:/Code:rw ocaml/opam:alpine-3.3_ocaml-4.02.3 ash` away.
