Instructions for running MapReader within institutional research infrastructures #499

Problem

I was wondering if there's any guide, perhaps created by other users, on how to run MapReader within institutional research infrastructures. Although I have a high-end work laptop with admin rights, I no longer use Anaconda but run code exclusively in Jupyterlab projects that I set up on our Data Science Research Infrastructure. Other colleagues do not even have personal machines that allow them local installations, and I know that other universities also encourage using institutional research infrastructures where possible.

I guess that many of these infrastructures are Kubernetes-based like ours. Universities outside the EU may also use Azure?

What I am trying...

For now, I will simply try and skip the steps for creating the virtual environment in your user instructions and launch MapReader directly in a new Jupyterlab project. I am not sure, however, if this will work with the standard Docker image that my university provides.

What I would need...

Having some advice from users on similar systems would be great!
