bocinsky/dssat-docker repository overview

⁠dssat-docker

This is a docker image for the DSSAT Cropping Systems Model⁠. It builds version 4.7.0.0 of the DSSAT CSM from bocinsky/bocin_base, an image including R and several command-line utilities.

⁠The Docker container

Docker⁠ is a virtual computing environment that facilitates reproducible research—it allows for research results to be produced independent of the machine on which they are computed. Docker users describe computing environments in a text format called a "Dockerfile", which when read by the Docker software builds a virtual machine, or "container". Other users can then load the container on their own computers. Users can upload container images to Docker Hub⁠, and the image for this research is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/bocinsky/dssat-docker/⁠.

⁠Downloading and running the Docker container image

docker run -it bocinsky/dssat-docker bash

⁠Building the Docker container from scratch

If you wish to build the Docker container locally, clone this repository, cd into the dssat-docker/ directory and run:

docker build bocinsky/dssat-docker .

The -t argument gives the resulting container image a name. You can then run the container as described above.
