jakirkham/centos_conda repository overview

⁠Purpose

In order to provide a simple portable conda-based environment. This repo contains what is necessary to build a CentOS 6 based image using Docker. In addition, it provides a copy of anaconda-client⁠ and conda⁠ with some extensions for building.

⁠Building

⁠Automatic

This repo is part of an automated build, which is hosted on Docker Hub ( https://hub.docker.com/r/jakirkham/centos_conda⁠ ). Changes added to this trigger an automatic rebuild and deploy the resulting image to Docker Hub. To download an existing image, one simply needs to run docker pull jakirkham/centos_conda.

⁠Manual

If one wishes to develop this repo, building will need to be performed manually. This container can be built simply by cding into the repo and using docker build --rm -t <NAME> . where <NAME> is the name tagged to the image built. More information about building can be found in Docker's documentation ( https://docs.docker.com/reference/builder⁠ ). Please consider opening a pull request for changes that you make.

⁠Testing

A CircleCI build of the image is performed on each commit. conda is exercised to update the root environments to match those in conda-forge⁠.

⁠Usage

Once an image is acquired either from one of the provided builds or manually, the image is designed to provide a preconfigured shell environment. Simply run docker run --rm -it <NAME>. This starts up bash with a copy of conda in Python 2 and Python 3 environments available. In the case of an automated build, <NAME> is jakirkham/centos_conda.
