the case of Docker, it can be more complicated if users do
not have a minimum of knowledge, but it is very interesting
and useful (I bet on this). It could lead to the
distribution of a config or clip art, somewhat similar to
git, since a container for dxspider is tiny (< 100 MB)
and portable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Regarding
the updates, although it is very easy to do with "git", a
backup/restore section would have to be added for the fear
that the sysops have of losing their node. This would
encourage (I hope) that the Network is kept up to date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I went with ubuntu 22.04, the
long term support version, so it's not quite the
latest, but this version gets security updates
until 2027 making it a good choice for a cluster<br>
I was able to meet all the dependencies that came
up with system packages. It's possible that I may
have missed one or two, this is an early draft but
I took my test install as far as setting up RBN
and the new badip list feature. <o:p></o:p></p>
