This is a GitHub repository that contains a Dockerfile for building a Docker image based on the latest version of Ubuntu. The Docker image is designed for running a specific application that requires certain dependencies.
The provided Dockerfile sets up the necessary environment for the application by installing the following packages using the apt-get package manager:
wget: Command-line tool for retrieving files from the webbzip2: Compression utilityca-certificates: SSL certificates for secure connectionsgit: Version control system for managing source code
It then proceeds to download and install Miniconda, a lightweight distribution of the Anaconda Python distribution. Miniconda is installed by downloading the installation script from the Anaconda repository and executing it with the appropriate options. Once installed, the script removes the installation file.
The ENV instruction sets the PATH environment variable to include the Miniconda binary directory, allowing easy access to the conda command.
Next, the Dockerfile activates the base environment and configures Conda to include the conda-forge and bioconda channels. It then uses mamba, a faster package manager compatible with Conda, to create a new Conda environment named snakemake and installs the snakemake package within it.
Finally, the Dockerfile specifies the default command to be executed when the Docker container starts, which is to run the bash shell.
This Dockerfile can be used to build a Docker image that provides a ready-to-use environment for running applications that depend on the specified packages and Conda environment.
Please note that this is just a snippet of the Dockerfile, and additional configuration files or code may be required for the complete functionality of the application.
