Consider adding astro focused base image to extend for production images for users #1

On such image could serve as the base image rather than pulling a standard base one from dockerhub

Can you elaborate more? Our base-image starts from base-notebook from the jupyter stack because that works with the backend (e.g. creating linux user jovyan etc). base-image is meant to be a starting image for all fornax kernels, and I agree it should contain more standard astro packages. That is not done currently because the requirements for the notebook images changes a lot, and it is easier to modify the tractor image than the base one because the other image (heasoft) depends on base too.

Honestly, I don't remember what this was about. I think originally the base image was a very generic data science one we pulled from dockerhub, so the gist here is that base-image should contain a lot most generic astro packages (e.g. astropy and maybe all of astropy coordinated, etc.)
