Docker is a Linux subsystem allowing users to run applications in a way that is isolated from the host operating system. Users can run applications native to other Linux distributions without porting or modifying them – for example Ubuntu pipelines on CentOS/RedHat. With Docker users can install applications that require administrator (“root”) access.
This workshop will introduce users to BioHPC Cloud implementation of Docker and show with examples how it can be efficently used for bioinformatics applications.
