Document requirements for compatible containers

Discussion of the requirements for a container for statistical analysis systems

Hey @MCortePTS,

I know this is your area of expertise. The main deliverable for the qualification/validation of a virtualized system is the document that verifies the quality of the system itself. So during the qualification process we would pull out system information detailing how the environment is constructed. Some questions specific to docker we would have to know are:

• Can this container/image run rootless?
• What volumes are mounted into this container/image?
• Are there any restrictions on the host this container/image can be run on?

Would these be straight-forward questions we could get answers to with a command run in the container itself? Or would some of these questions have to be run from outside the container? I'm thinking if the environment doesn't know it's running in a container, we might need to get creative with how we answer these questions.
