My guess is that Torsten doesn't want to maintain yet another thing.....but myself and the other members in the StaPH-B group are happy to maintain the above dockerfile (and future Prokka releases) since Prokka is such an important tool to us. Won't be "official Torstyverse" but it seems to work well for everyone that uses our docker images.
There should be a docker image automatically created for every (bio)conda recipe on quay.io via the biocontainers project. But there have been reports of the tbl2asn binary being "expired" and causing prokka to fail when installed with conda, which would likely affect the biocontainers. https://quay.io/repository/biocontainers/prokka?tab=tags
If you have any issues/suggestions/feedback on our StaPH-B docker images, leave us an issue https://github.com/StaPH-B/docker-builds
Hi @kapsakcj
That would totally work for me!
In that case, it's a conversation between you and @tseemann. A link on the README should work...
In my situation, I just always use a Docker image. If anything changes between blast/prokka/brew,/perl, I try to re-install stuff---I could spend so much time on that.
Just using an official Docker image takes seconds.
@kapsakcj
Sounds great! Feel free to add the link and example commands on the README. Here's the (static) link to the dockerhub repository for Prokka https://hub.docker.com/r/staphb/prokka
To download the docker image:
# default tag will download the latest available docker image of Prokka
docker pull staphb/prokka:latest
# Or a Prokka-version-specific tag
docker pull staphb/prokka:1.14.5
# then
docker run staphb/prokka:latest prokka -h
The StaPH-B prokka docker images also work in Singularity. To download and convert docker image to singularity image format:
singularity build prokka.sif docker://staphb/prokka:latest
singularity exec prokka.sif prokka -h
I think the above in the README would be quite helpful. Thanks @kapsakcj!
Thanks @kapsakcj and @tseemann! I appreciate the help
Hi @tseemann
As a feature request, I wonder if there could be an "official" versioned Docker image associated with prokka. It appears there are dozens of versions at Dockerhub already.
I appear to be using the Docker image more and more, as it avoids all of my Perl/brew disasters.
As for the Dockerfiles, it appears many have them up already:
https://hub.docker.com/r/staphb/prokka/dockerfile
I could do a PR, but I'm not sure you would be interested in such a scheme, or the maintaining newer versions.
