[FLASH-USERS] Problem with MPI while running FLASH in Docker

[Полина Бевад]

Marissa, thank you!

Yes, I wanted to fix these paths, and mount FLASH folder to docker, but the main problem, I assume, that docker image doesn't include MPI, HDF5 and other libraries and then the purpose of this image isn't clear - if I need to install MPI and hdf5 as usual and then commit changes in image, then it the same as the common installation. 
Maybe there are some other images, because this one from manual was updated 4 years ago ( https://hub.docker.com/r/icksa/flash4-deps )?
