Has anyone built a docker image from the “official” ( [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/julia) ) one which successfully builds `Plots` ?

Try this code:

```nohighlight
FROM julia:1.3
# Add Packages based on : https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/blob/master/.travis.yml#L18
RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
     at-spi2-core \
     libgtk-3-dev \
     xauth \
     xvfb \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/
RUN julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.REPLMode.pkgstr("add Plots;precompile");using Plots'

```

not optimal code; based on Extra Debian packages - need for the travis test.
