What do you mean by that - have no idea?

Like with the docker pull command instead of building the images.

In my opinion this is already included:

• we need a permission file as this is central to subuser so just use a docker file with a single FROM and we are ready to go..... takes 3 minutes

e.g.

https://index.docker.io/u/realyze/vnc/

Dockerfile:

FROM realyze/vnc

subuser install

workerm@notebook:~$ subuser install realyze_vnc
Installing realyze_vnc
Uploading context  2.56 kB
Uploading context 
Step 0 : FROM realyze/vnc
Pulling repository realyze/vnc
651351500525: Pulling image (latest) from realyze/vnc, endpoint: https://cdn-reg651351500525: Pulling dependent layers 

the permission file needs a bit more work (maybe as one has to find the path to a executable or so but all in all I thing it is implemented in subuser ...except I missed something

BUT: in your contribution guidelines you do NOT allow such: only official images and subuser own once :)

I was thinking more along the lines of the ability to have a docker store which mirrored the programsThatCanBeInstalled list, so that one would have the choice of subuser install firefox(slower) or subuser install firefox --from-store(faster). That's all.

Ah you mean a register subuser repo on docker https://index.docker.io/ with some official subuser controlled (by you) supported images?

Feb 18 '14 15:02 peter1000

do we still want to implement --from-store or does the upcoming: from saved image is enough.

I think an official subuser repo (controlled by yourself) might be for some users quite nice: personally I don't care because I like to install it from own base images and save it to disk

but for someone just testing subuser might be quite nice

In terms of speed, the difference in pulling from the store would seem quite negligible. The only real advantage I can see to implementing this is in the following scenario: While attempting to build an image, there are some urls or repos that are temporarily or permanently down.

@Sepero it is also usefull when the image has to build things from source.

Valid point
