Hi Steven,

Using Docker can simplify deployment, enhance reproducibility, and enhance security with the eventual goal of allowing users to run untrusted code on the shared Galaxy infrastructure, to name a few reasons.

For details on how to set up your own tool shed, this page should help you out:  https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/HostingALocalToolShed

Let me know if you have any other questions, good luck!
