Hi all: 

We also discussed experimenting with docker, creating a container that mounts cvmfs.  Sierra, part of Future Grid at UCSD, has a docker testbed running that can be used.

Re docker: it turns out to be very easy to set it up on any machine (with a recent OS) that you have root on (I have it on my OpenSUSE laptop now).  So perhaps jumping through the hoops with Sierra is a bit much for initial development and testing.  I've put up some instructions for running docker/CVMFS here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Main/DockerCVMFS .  The big point is that, as far as I can tell, running docker doesn't let us get away from having to have FUSE in the host kernel to get CVMFS; however it means we can have our own private file space and mount CVMFS in such a way that it won't interfere with anything else the host system is running.

Cheers,

Peter
