Ubuntu 16.04 EoL

[ViaFerrata]

Hi there,

since Ubuntu 16.04 is EoL in April, do you intend to offer Ubuntu 18.04 versions of the dockerfiles?
Of course you could switch the apt-get commands to the old-releases.ubuntu.com source, but the file would still need to be changed.

For my project, I tried to combine the experimental ubuntu18.04-minimal image with the ubuntu/python one by just changing the FROM command from 16.04 to 18.04.
Seems like it works, I could use the docker image as normal in a DB cluster, and I could also import code in a notebook from a python package that has been installed to the dcs-minimal conda env in the docker container.

But of course that's not a sophisticated test case.

Can you check if #49 addresses the ubuntu 16 eol concerns? If so, can you update the ticket to make it focus on the conda issues?

Yep, that fixes it, I've already used this solution for a few months.

In order to not make this issue too confusing, I'll split the conda problem to a new issue.
