MAUD Interface Language Kit (MILK) is a set of Rietveld tools for automated processing of diffraction datasets. It's main features are:

  • programable, custom, reproducible refinements
  • database configuration of refinements
  • distributed computing
  • refinement summary
  • output formated for cinema_debye_scherrer

Installation and requirements

See the MILK installation wiki.

Using Docker

If you would like to install MILK via Docker, first you would need to download and install Docker from the official website: https://www.docker.com

To build a MILK docker image, use the Dockerfile:

docker build -t rietveld .

On Linux and MacOS, to run commands and mount in a directory for MILK to write output to, use:

docker run -u $(id -u):$(id -g)  -v ${PWD}:/output -w /output rietveld-image milk-examples -e 1

On Windows, run the following command:

docker run -v "path\to\folder":/output -w /output rietveld milk-examples -e 1

The path to the folder needs to be a full absolute path for Windows.

To open the Docker container as a Virtual Machine, run:

docker run -v ${PWD}:/output -w /output --rm -it rietveld /bin/bash

--rm tells the container to erase additional files and directories when the container exits, essentially return the container to initial state. -it tells the container to run in interactive mode, which is needed if you intend to run in bash. /bin/bash tells the container to start in the bash shell. If this is not done, you can still switch to bash shell by simply typing bash.

NOTE: This passes in the user and group ID so files written back out match the user on the host.
