Galaxy Platform Container Images

This repository contains documentations and dockerfile specifications of base images for Galaxy.

To build an image and push it to Docker Hub (eg, galaxy-app), run ./build-publish-image.sh galaxy-app. The script will generate a version tag automatically based on the date and git commit. (Only Galaxy admins have permissions to push these images; see the internal Galaxy README for more details.)

The script assumes you can run docker without any additional setup; this is the case on Linux or with Docker for Mac, but not with the older Mac docker-machine. If you're using docker-machine, make sure to first run

eval "$(docker-machine env dev)"
