Have you looked at Shifter for an additional string to your bow? Let's you convert Docker containers into a software container that you can use on a cluster, including via MPI. Includes plugins for Slurm as well. https://github.com/NERSC/shifter/ >From our point of view it's interesting as it lets a user build a container with their software stack and then import it into Shifter on our cluster to use it there.
