dcanumn/external-software repository overview

⁠External Software for the DCAN Labs pipelines.

The repository contains the Dockerfile to create a Docker image of external software packages used by DCAN pipelines. Notice that there is no entry point for this container. It is meant to be used to build the next level of the DCAN pipelines: internal-tools.

⁠Installation

In order to run this software via a container, you will need to acquire a copy of the FreeSurfer License for yourself from:

⁠Using Docker

Before running, you will need to load the image onto your Docker service by running the following command:

docker pull dcanlabs/external-software

If you receive a "no space left on device" error during this pull process, you may need to clean up any old/dangling images and containers from the docker registry, and possibly increase the amount of space allocated to Docker.

⁠Using Singularity

You can either pull the image from the Docker repository or build it from the repository for the image to be saved in the working directory:

singularity pull docker://dcanlabs/external-software

singularity build external-software.img docker://dcanlabs/external-software

These are essentially the same, but in the latter case you have control over the name of the file.
