No prob. I'll use workarounds.
Yes, the docker image can be run on Windows or Mac or different versions of Linux. The big requirement for Linux is kernel 3.10 or better. Last I tried the Win environment, it was a bit clunky, but that was some months back. It would be nice to have an official AmberTools image on Docker Hub, even for Linux: no compiling, no dependencies, just "docker pull".
I know WAY TOO MUCH about Docker, so I'll be happy to talk to anyone who has questions about it.

Subject: Re: [AMBER-Developers] AMBER + Docker + configure
Also, if you run update_amber first before configure, it should not ask you to apply updates. And as long as you implement the same logic that the configure script uses to apply updates, configure should not ask you any questions.
And as Hai mentioned, you can specify a python or to skip Python to avoid the python questions. Adding flags to configure would add complexity to work around intentional queries when it's currently not hard to avoid them.
I'm personally -1 on the flags for this reason.
All the best,
Jason

Ok for me to add a "-yespatch" flag that answers yes to patches and a "-yespython" that answers yes to the python question? The text of the flags is entirely negotiable. It should be a trivial addition.
