prefer mulled containers built from bioconda #5

Open pvanheus opened 7 years ago

pvanheus commented 7 years ago

The bioconda project automatically builds containers (hosted on quay.io under the biocontainers organisation) from each tool in the bioconda project (current over 2000 tools). The mulled toolkit is used to ensure these containers are very small. For example, the bwa container is 3.8 MB compared to the scidap/bwa container's 263 MB.

Containers from bioconda can be found using the mulled-search tool which is part of galaxy-lib which may also be installed using bioconda.

The corresponding containers for the ones currently used in the project during the course of a run are:
