Undoubtedly, but I haven't used Travis. It looks like .travis.yml is a bit more verbose than the corresponding .gitlab.yml, and docker seems to be less integrated. It should still be possible https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/ > I'd prefer to continue using github if I can since there's so much > infrastructure there, and I tend to use the web interface in my > teaching. I only report issues on Gitlab. As I occasionally need private repos and git-annex support I usually use gitlab.com.

Re: [O] VM for org-based reproducible environment?
I'm really interested in the gitlab-ci part of this -- can you describe? Do you think it will translate to travis on github? I'd prefer to continue using github if I can since there's so much infrastructure there, and I tend to use the web interface in my teaching. I hadn't even heard of guix, it looks intriguing, thanks.

Docker might be handy if you need a whole array of tools, say R, Org, a number of libraries etc etc. It's not too complicated to created new docker images and you can host/compile them on "dockerhub". You can find the files that create docker images on e.g. github. Personally, I use an external config.el file to publish files against the ELPA version of Org. Something like, emacs --batch --no-init-file --load paper-config/org-conf.el --find-file $1 --funcall $2 In addition, I compile the papers with gitlab-ci. You can include instructions of what software is needed in the .gitlab-ci.yml. You might also be able to use something like Guix. I think it can even be used to create docker images these days. Hope it helps, Rasmus -- History is what should never happen again

I looked briefly into Docker, but I did not make any progress on it. Matt Price writes: > I'd like to provide a way for people to copy my course materials in the > easiest possible way.

[O] VM for org-based reproducible environment?
I'd like to provide a way for people to copy my course materials in the easiest possible way. At present my export & grading processes rely on some customization of various tools, mostly emacs-based. So I'm thinking the easiest thing might be fore me to define a virtual machine, maybe docker-based, and distribute that. Is anyone already doing this? I remember maybe John K. saying something along these lines a year or so ago, but can't find the details right away. Would love to steal someone else's setup as I currently know nothing about docker... Thanks, Matt
