crsilva/hdfview repository overview

⁠Introduction

Quick hdf format viewer docker. I mainly did this to avoid installing old dependencies for HDF4 support.

⁠Instructions

You can either keep a daemonized docker and keep the hdf files inside the container or you can pass a data volume redirecting to that same content without risking losing all when the docker stops (recommended).

The following is a sample command I would use to run Hdfview with a data volume on a Ubuntu 16.04 host:

$ docker run --rm \
-e DISPLAY \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v /home/user/data:/data \
crsilva/hdfview:latest

⁠Dockerfile
