Is this doable now that we have Julia 1.0 and the new Pkg3?

Like OP, I want to set up a general julia installation with commonly used packages and have users only install special packages in their home directories.

EDIT: I thought this might deserve a clean new thread for Julia 1.0 and Pkg3. Here it is: [How does one set up a centralized Julia installation?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-does-one-set-up-a-centralized-julia-installation/13922)
