Hi,
In a effort to have a complete, reliable and easy to replicate testing
platform for Biopython I am in the process of creating a docker
container (inspired by Brad's CloudBioLinux work) with everything
needed for Biopython.
I currently have a container that allows easy installation of Biopython.
I have documented the process here:
http://fe.popgen.net/2014/03/a-docker-container-for-biopython/
A few points:
1. A few applications still missing, not many
2. The fasttree test case is still failing
3. Database servers are included
4. This can be used to do a very fast deploy of Biopython (teaching,
demo, etc...)
5. The container to test biopython (buildbot based) will be a different
one (and probably only of interest to Peter and me ;) )
This is my first container, problems & suggestions most welcome!
Tiago
