Reproducible research using Containers
This slow-paced hands-on course is designed for absolute beginners who want to start using Linux Containers (Docker/Podman and Singularity/Apptainer).
The course will train participants to run and build Linux containers.
It is designed to provide trainees with short and frequent hands-on sessions while keeping theoretical sessions to a minimum.
- Locate and fetch Docker/Singularity images from dedicated repositories.
- Execute/Run a Docker/Singularity container from the command line.
- Build simple Docker container images
Being comfortable working with the CLI (command-line interface) in a Linux-based environment. The course materials are online on the dedicated GitHub page for self-learning.
Practitioners must connect to a remote server via the "ssh" protocol during the course. You can learn about it here.
Those who follow the course should be able to use a command-line/screen-oriented text editor (such as nano or vi/vim, which are already available on the server) or to be able to use an editor able to connect remotely. For the sake of information, below are the basics of "nano": https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nano/Basics_Guide
