Seqera's new containers service

[wholtz]

For a while now, Seqera has been using mambaorg/micromamba-docker as the base image for their Wave product. Wave allows you to create Nextflow pipelines where the docker images are built on the fly from a list of conda packages.

Now Seqera has released a container service where you can use their website to input a list of packages you want in a container and it builds the image for you, using mambaorg/micromamba-docker. You don't have to use Wave or Nextflow or even authenticate. This is a public service that returns a link to a publicly available and persistent container.

I'm excited that Seqera making it easier to create reproducible containers and making this service freely available to the community.
