<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I've been playing around with the Dockerfile for the Bio-Linux8 Docker image (<a href="https://github.com/gawbul/docker-bio-linux8">https://github.com/gawbul/docker-bio-linux8</a>). I managed to get it to install all the Bio-Linux packages, as per Tim's upgrade script, with the exception of a few graphical packages. The image size is around 6Gb, however.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm trying to think of the best way to do this now? Should I just provide a base image with Bio-Linux repositories configured so users can install what they want? Or should I install a few commonly used packages? The question is then, what are the most commonly used/required packages?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>Tim, I was trying to think if there would be any metrics on the number of installs of bioinformatics packages from a given repository that might be able to help with this? Otherwise, I guess it would be a case of people giving a list of the packages they need/use on a regular basis?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Steve<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://about.me/gawbul" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(43,130,173);text-decoration:none;line-height:18px" target="_blank"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"></font><table style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;border-spacing:0px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><tr style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><td style="padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-size:0px;vertical-align:baseline;height:30px"> </td></tr><tr style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><td style="padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:1" align="left" valign="top"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-weight:bold;font-style:inherit;font-size:18px;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:1;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Steve Moss</div><div style="margin:3px 0px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-size:12px;vertical-align:baseline">about.me/gawbul</div></td></tr><tr style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><td style="padding:8px 0px 0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:top;line-height:1" align="left" valign="top"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;text-align:right;background-color:rgb(197,208,224);height:4px"><img src="http://d13pix9kaak6wt.cloudfront.net/signature/colorbar.png" alt="Steve Moss on about.me" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; outline: 0px none; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: right; display: block;" height="4" width="88"></div></td></tr><tr style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><td style="padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-style:inherit;font-size:0px;vertical-align:baseline;height:20px"><br></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div>
