This Coding Café session focused on how Docker helps researchers create reproducible environments for notebooks, scripts, and data workflows.

Topics covered:

  • Software dependency issues and “dependency hell”
  • What containers and container images are
  • Docker’s role in research reproducibility
  • Practical examples of Dockerfiles, volumes, and networking
