Re: [HTCondor-users] sudo / package installation inside a docker container inside a user job

[Gergely Debreczeni <gergely.debreczeni@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

that is true, but  - as of now - it is not a concern. I'm more interested in the possibility of flexibly changing user environment as per jobs demand. if it were possible with Condor that would give a lot of flexibility....inside the docker container.

is it diabled now ? why ?
thanks,
Gergely

Is reproduce/repet-ability a concern? You may get a different new version of $foo on every run if you do this; "immutable" is one of the buzzwords in docker's sales pitch.
