Build the OpenIFS docker image

Before starting to build the container, it is necessary to set the OIFS_EXPT environment variable in oifs-config.edit_me.sh, i.e. 

open <openifs-docker-build-dir>/openifs-48r1/oifs-config.edit_me.sh  with a text editor, then change the following line

export OIFS_EXPT=${PERM}

to 

export OIFS_EXPT=/home/openifs/openifs-expt

The above change will ensure that the defined experiment directory is consistent to the experiment directory set-up during the build of the container. 

The following command builds the docker image from the the <openifs-docker-build-dir> , with the docker command executed in the same directory as the Dockerfile .
