Would a "The Littlest Binder" be useful?

Yeah, DockerSpawner already lets you pick from a whitelist of images, so mapping these onto repos instead should be a pretty small change.

If you require the admin to build images beforehand rather than enabling builds as part of spawn, then the default DockerSpawner + image_whitelist should be all you need. It’s less automatic and therefore less “bindery” but might fit, depending on your needs.
