Docker containers for the Institute for Biomedicine

Last updated: 2024-11-18 Bioconductor release: 3.21 (devel)

This repository defines docker containers extending the docker containers from Bioconductor with additional software needed at the Institute for Biomedicine from Eurac Research.

Each branch is linked to a different Bioconductor (docker) version, with the main branch always linking to the current developmental Bioconductor version and respective docker image with tag devel.

Additional software

The docker container builds on the official Bioconductor docker container adding the following software:

• SOLAR-Eclipse version 8.5.1 (static).
• A set of perl libraries required by Haplopainter to enable usage of this software for pedigree plotting using the FamAgg Bioconductor package.
• The tinytex R package installed for the rstudio user.

Build and test the docker images locally

To build the docker image locally run

docker build . --pull -t jorainer/ifb_bioconductor_docker:devel

The docker can then be started with (which will open an interactive shell within the running container).

docker run -it --user rstudio jorainer/ifb_bioconductor_docker:devel /bin/bash
