I'll leave this here as it might be of interest to some people...

I have set up a simple Docker container that can compile and run NEMO with with MPI enabled. It is a fairly convenient solution to quickly set up a development environment and/or run "modest" simulations on (theoretically) any machine with Docker installed.

The project (a Dockderfile and architecture files for NEMO and XIOS) is hosted on Github here: ​https://github.com/pderian/NEMOGCM-Docker

Enjoy!
