Reuse base image for gui apps #1

Open hinerm opened 9 years ago

hinerm commented 9 years ago

The steps for running Fiji as a GUI application are currently extremely convoluted, and platform-specific.

We should convert our dockerfiles to use a common base image configured for VNC or X11 usage. All the popular images on Docker hub are geared towards web browser use though so we will likely need to create our own modular base, and then figure out how to flexibly merge them with the various Java bases (e.g. with multiple FROM statements).

At the least, hopefully we can simplify the steps for using Fiji in Docker on Linux. Ideally there will be better OSX solutions too.

I imagine using the newer COPY --from=$LAYER command would let us inject the /fiji directory from the regular build into an x11/vnc-configured image.
