I think this is actually the opposite of what Chris is asking for.  This
looks to me (and please correct me if I'm wrong) like a mechanism for
defining cluster system images in Docker and deploying a Docker-based
SLURM+munge cluster.

What Chris is asking for, I *think*, is what we're looking for as well --
anyone who has figured out a way to allow users to execute jobs inside
user-supplied (or at least user-specified) Docker containers.  It would be
nice to be able to allow users to supply not only the data, scripts, and
programs that compose their job but also the OS environment (in the form of
a Docker container or Dockerfile) within which it should execute.
