You should run a container of it as: docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=my/host/dir,target=/home/ubuntu godrigos/phylobuntu or podman run -it -v my/host/dir:/home/ubuntu:z godrigos/phylobuntu. This will start a phylobuntu container with your host directory content available for use. Just change my/host/dir to the path of the directory you want to make available to the container. Remember, inside the binded host directory the container user will have complete control, so it will be capable to create, edit and delete content. Do not store unique copies or sensitive data in such directory.
