+= Nightly Linux builds using Docker =
+
+We create a base docker image that has the necessary tools to build ChimeraX.  This image is called **rbvi/chimerax-devel:1.0** and it is based on the **debian:8** image with a lot of development packages.  The plan is to create a **rbvi/chimerax-devel:2.0** that is based on the official Python manylinux1 docker image, **quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_x86_64** with a newer C++ compiler (the manylinx1 image has gcc 4.8.2 and ChimeraX needs 4.9 or newer).  The plan is to publish the docker image build script as well as the resulting docker image.
+
+The Linux build script:
+
+1. Makes the **rbvi/chimerax-devel:1.0** docker image if it isn't already present.
+1. Creates a temporary directory that contains:
+  * the chimerax source for the given revision
+  * the PyQt5 commercial wheel
+  (including the wheel means that the docker image does not need ssh access to plato)
+1. Creates a docker image with the temporary directory as **/home/chimerax** and a **make install > build.out** command (the contents of the temporary directory are copied into the docker image, but could be mounted at runtime if the **-v** option work, but it doesn't)
+1. That docker image can be run interactively with the **make install** done by hand for testing, but the script runs it, creating a docker container, and waits for it to complete
+1. The build.out file is copied back from the docker container
+1. If the build was successful, the application tree is copied back from the docker container and is placed in the chimerax download directory
+1. At exit, the docker container and image are removed, as well as the temporary directory
+
+If the docker daemon is not running, the script also starts the docker daemon with **audit docker start** and stops it with **audit docker stop**
