Docker

  • Installed and restarted PC
  • Warns that WSL 2 installation is incomplete.
  • Installed WSL 2 at https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel
  • Restarted Docker
  • Went through the dcker101tutorial
  • Went through the getting started guide
  • Ran the following command on terminal:

docker run -e PASSWORD=newpass --rm -v ${PWD}:/Desktop -p 8787:8787 risserlin/bcb420-base-image:winter2022

Conclusions and Outlook

  • Docker is useful for managing parts of your pipelines without breaking it and also collaborating with partners
  • Containers can separate the code you're working on from the environment
