Machine (docker) Image for rstan on AWS

It would be very helpful to have a ready-to-go installation/machine image that installs rstan and the requisite dependencies in a stable(ish) way to facilitate running rstan on AWS in a good workflow.

Asking as a novice, intimidated by the many options and moving parts in AWS.

There is

but its RStan tends to be out of date.

Not exactly the same problem, but I actually thought about this a while ago: what about creating a stan-dev organization on Docker hub registry?

There are a few Docker images with Stan on them floating around, which are probably better than what we would do ourselves.

Ben, do you know of any particularly reliable ones?
