Dear all,

I am happy to change the login credentials if NESt would like to adopt this image.

Dear Pedro,
it seems you have built a docker image for a Microsoft environment, however, since NEST is continuously developed a single image is less interesting than the process used to build it. Do you have a Dockerfile somewhere that shows how the image was built?

Another note: Please be aware that we release NEST unter GPL which is a strong copyleft license and is not compatible with the Apache License (permissive). We strongly recommend you to publish this under the same license, or declare the content of your image appropriately.

Dear @terhorstd ,
Not really, I have built a cross-patform image that loads Lubuntu inside a docker containers. Users can RDP into the the container. I will update the Dockerfile and share it with you. Meanwhile, I would like to encourage you to test the environment by following the instructions in my personal docker hub.

⚠️ Running Docker containers without being able to see what's inside is highly dangerous and we would advise everyone strongly against trying this! Without seeing the source, one basically grants root permissions. A closed source container is strongly against the concept of open-source and does not fit into an open scientific environment. Installed components must be known to trust the results.
