Out of curiosity. Has anyone containerized xyce? Any opinions on what would make a good base image?

I can install/run Xyce easily enough (the build guide is pretty thorough). ATM we're trying to train up other people on the software, and some of them aren't really "devs", and so aren't familiar with build systems in general. Unfortunately we don't really have full control over all of their run-times, so we wanted to get something easily deployable instead of running support for them when they have weird issues like broken library installs, misconfigured permissions, etc. I don't see why parallel Xyce wouldn't work well with docker. To my knowledge containers aren't locked to single processes.

@Robert Rogers we are working on that right now at https://github.com/mabrains/OpenAnalogDesign And Currently we are working on standardizing the models for Xyce as well but it’s not yet public still in progress

I realize that this is a very late reply to this, but several people have put Xyce into docker. The first person I was aware of doing this was Steven Burns. I don’t know how up-to-date it is, however. Also, AFAIK, the people who have done it have just done it for the serial version of Xyce.
