About

Prerequisites

Basic command-line experience or the Beginner UNIX workshop (Nov 2)Laptop running macOS, Linux, or Windows with administrator rights to install software (tablets and Chromebooks won’t work)Docker Desktop installed before the workshop (instructions will be sent after you register). Having trouble? Come at 8:30am for installation helpThis hands-on workshop introduces Docker, a tool for creating portable, consistent, and reproducible computational environments. Learn how to package scientific software and its dependencies into isolated containers that can be shared and reused across projects and collaborators. You’ll run pre-built containers, manage data access, and create customized Docker images. Using RNA-seq analysis as an example, you’ll build a container that plugs into the automated workflow in the Snakemake workshop.

What you'll learn

Understand containerization and how Docker improves reproducibility and portabilityFind, download, and run pre-built Docker images for scientific applicationsManage data access and file storage with mounted directories and volumesCreate customized Docker images by writing Dockerfiles and installing dependenciesBuild and test a Docker container for an RNA-seq analysis workflowShare and reuse containerized environments across projects and computing platforms
