Yes, I own this organization. This hosts an image I created several years ago. 
See also <https://github.com/eschnett/einsteintoolkit-docker>. Unfortunately, I 
did not manage to find a good way to have the Cactus executable and simulation 
result be placed outside the container. I will be happy to transfer ownership 
to you, or to create a team, etc. Please advise.

Ian Hinder mentioned to me that he also created an image, but I assume he did 
not upload it.

It was very large, so I didn't upload it.  Steve Brandt also did this.  It's 
not clear exactly how one would use Docker with the ET.  I think I set up three 
different images, inheriting from each other.  The first was just the 
dependencies, the second included the code, and the third included the build.  
Which one you choose to use would be based on what you needed to be able to do. 
 e.g. for a workshop, maybe you want it already built.  For a development 
environment, maybe you want just the dependencies.

For storing the simulation results, one would presumably use a volume.  I 
didn't think of storing the executable outside the container; would this be the 
whole built config, or just the exe?  You could do that with a volume as well, 
but I'm not sure of the purpose?

I have two jenkins containers at https://hub.docker.com/u/ianhinder.

– The et-jenkins-slave one is actively used by the build system.

– jenkins-einsteintoolkit is for a standalone environment; it gives you a full 
working jenkins system (without needing separate master/slaves) with all the 
packages installed.  I haven't tested this recently though.  Last updated 4 
years ago, so I doubt it will work :)
