Anyone is free, and welcome, to use our packages this way. The one concern I have about it is that using Docker (the server) for this is SaaSS. If we want to do testing using Docker (the software), we should write something that quickly and easily configures Docker (the software) on any machine, rather than recommending people use Docker (the server). -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
