Building the image would involve copying the "static" data from the repo into the "data" dir in the image. The dynamic data would be mounted as sub-directories of the static data directories the same way it's currently done for dynamic legends (legends/dynamic/.)
This would make it clearer that the data you see in the repo directory is the set of data managed by version control, not stuff that could change on a daily basis.
It's possible some or all of our static data may go away in favor of an approach that transfers the whole configuration from the supercomputer. Or a shared database, but I doubt we'll have the time to develop something that robust.
