I'd like to provide a way for people to copy my course materials in the
easiest possible way. At present my export & grading processes rely on some
customization of various tools, mostly emacs-based. So I'm thinking the
easiest thing might be fore me to define a virtual machine, maybe
docker-based, and distribute that.
Is anyone already doing this? I remember maybe John K. saying something
along these lines a year or so ago, but can't find the details right away.
Would love to steal someone else's setup as I currently know nothing about
docker...
Thanks,
Matt

I looked briefly into Docker, but I did not make any progress on it.

Docker might be handy if you need a whole array of tools, say R, Org, a
number of libraries etc etc. It's not too complicated to created new
docker images and you can host/compile them on "dockerhub". You can find
the files that create docker images on e.g. github.
Personally, I use an external config.el file to publish files against the
ELPA version of Org.
Something like,
emacs --batch --no-init-file --load paper-config/org-conf.el --find-file $1 --funcall $2
In addition, I compile the papers with gitlab-ci. You can include
instructions of what software is needed in the .gitlab-ci.yml.
You might also be able to use something like Guix. I think it can even be
used to create docker images these days.
Hope it helps,
Rasmus

I'm really interested in the gitlab-ci part of this -- can you describe? Do
you think it will translate to travis on github? I'd prefer to continue
using github if I can since there's so much infrastructure there, and I
tend to use the web interface in my teaching.
I hadn't even heard of guix, it looks intriguing, thanks.

Here's a very simple example using Org to publish a website via gitlab-ci.

Undoubtedly, but I haven't used Travis. It looks like .travis.yml is a
bit more verbose than the corresponding .gitlab.yml, and docker seems to
be less integrated. It should still be possible

I only report issues on Gitlab.
As I occasionally need private repos and git-annex support I usually use
gitlab.com.

Not quite yet but it will be Ubuntu, VirtualBox and Packer when I do so it
is easy for every OS that supports vbox.
