Re: GRASS Docker container - new website ?

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
