This Docker image and its corresponding Docker Hub images, resolwe/bio-linux8, resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe, resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe-preview, resolwe/bio-linux8-ugly, have been superseeded by Resolwe's and Resolwe Bioinformatics' Docker Hub repositories which contain a set of smaller, modular Docker images.
Therefore, this repository along with its Docker Hub images will be deleted on Mar 13, 2019.
Containerized version of Bio-Linux 8 tailored for Resolwe.
To start an interactive session in the container, use:
docker run -it resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe
To instruct Docker to automatically remove the container when it exits, pass
the --rm option to the command:
docker run -it --rm resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe
To mount a local directory inside the container, pass the
-v <host-path>:<container-path> option to the command, e.g.:
docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/data_dir:/home/biolinux/data resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe
NOTE: Use absolute paths to specify <host-path> and <container-path>.
However, if the user and group IDs of the user on the host don't match the user
and group IDs of the biolinux user used inside the container, this won't
work:
$ docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/data_dir:/home/biolinux/data resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe \
touch /home/biolinux/data/foo
touch: cannot touch '/home/biolinux/data/foo': Permission denied
To solve this problem, pass the host user's user and group IDs to the container
as HOST_UID and HOST_GID environment variables and the image's entrypoint
script will change the biolinux user's user and group IDs automatically:
$ docker run -it --rm -v $PWD/data_dir:/home/biolinux/data \
-e HOST_UID=$(id -u) -e HOST_GID=$(id -g) resolwe/bio-linux8-resolwe \
touch /home/biolinux/data/foo
$ ls data_dir | grep foo
foo
