Around me, people are pulling a debian Docker image then feed it with some specific dockerfile to produce a R environment ready to use. And I trying to do that for some bioconductor packages about Flow Cytometry data analysis. Well, why not push to DockerHub time to time. I agree that will attract people if Guix provide an official docker image reachable from DockerHub. For example, there is an official image of neuroscience Debian packages: https://hub.docker.com/_/neurodebian When searching about Guix, it is not so meaningful: https://hub.docker.com/search?q=guix&type=image Therefore: - which tasks and which packages? - how? even if the how is already discussed. Could we discuss that at the before-FOSDEM days. What do you think? All the best, simon
