Re: Docker for FRC - Better Environment Setup
Docker is really great for command-line/server apps, traditionally has been not so great for GUI apps (though, perhaps they've changed that for Docker for Windows). My sense is that it would work best for hosting the FRC-specific C++ compilers in an easy to use way (great for a CI server), as opposed to the entire environment.
Licensing for NI products will be a problem also.
Give it a shot, let us know how it works out.
