I just found the docker images, and am happy, that they are there!
But I am have three questions:
There is limited info on how they can be used on https://hub.docker.com/r/mundialis/grass-py3-pdal but there is no mention of the GUI (I assume it is not working?) or examples on how the image can be used. It would eb useful, if some more info could be provided by somebody who uses / knows these images. It would be useful, to include a link to the documentations itself in the new website.
The second questions concerns the R integration - it sounds intriguing, to consider that R interfaces with the GRASS docker container. Is this possible? Has somebody tried it?
The third question concerns AddOns - are they installed in the container, or outside?
Thanks,
Rainer

There is more info here but dockerhub isn't showing it...
but there is no mention of the GUI (I assume it is not working?)
An attempt with GUI is here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/neteler/docker-alpine-grass-gis-gui
based on https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/master/docker/alpine/Dockerfile_alpine_wxgui
or examples on how the image can be used. It would eb useful, if some more info could be provided by somebody who uses / knows these images.
It would be useful, to include a link to the documentations itself in the new website.
Agreed... it is all due to lack of time but writing documentation
could be done by "anyone".
The second questions concerns the R integration - it sounds intriguing, to consider that R interfaces with the GRASS docker container. Is this possible? Has somebody tried it?
I haven't but others likely yes.
I'd suggest a multi-stage docker build approach to "blend" the
different images together.
The third question concerns AddOns - are they installed in the container, or outside?
We do that inside while building it (in this case "actinia" which uses
above docker images as the basis) with a convenient CSV file listing
the addons and their respective repos:

Thanks Markus for the info.
I have no need for GRASS at the moment, so I likely won’t look into this, but it sounded intriguing. My thought was to run R normal, and have GRASS in a docker container.
Will think about it, when I have time.
Cheers,
Rainer
