AUTOMATIC CLONING OF CONDA ENVIRONMENT INTO DOCKER IMAGE

Abstract:

Automatic cloning of a Python Conda environment into a Docker image, such that at least one Conda container that functions the same as the Python Conda environment can be started from the Docker image. The automatic cloning may include: First, creating a Dockerfile that comprises commands to: install a Python Anaconda environment or obtain a Python Anaconda environment image, copy the Python Conda environment into the Docker image, and run a Conda command, in the Anaconda environment, to create a cloned Python Conda environment from the copied Python Conda environment. Second, building the Docker image from the Dockerfile.
