Braingeneers Docker Images

Welcome to the Braingeneers Docker Image repository! This repository is dedicated to providing users with Docker images tailored for building GitHub Codespaces with the necessary infrastructure for classroom and research purposes. The images are built daily using GitHub Actions to ensure you have access to the latest updates and features.

Repository Contents

Docker Images

The repository contains two main Docker images:

Image	Description	Version	Size
classroom	This image provides the basic infrastructure required for educational purposes.
research	This image is designed for research activities and includes additional tools and libraries.

Key Files

Inside the Docker images, you'll find the following key files:

• Dockerfile: The Dockerfile serves as the blueprint for creating the images. It is based on the Pangeo community docker base image and includes all the necessary configurations and dependencies.

• apt.txt: This file allows users to specify additional bash or shell packages they want to install within the Docker image. You can customize this file according to your requirements.

• environment.yml: The environment.yml file allows users to define the libraries and packages they want to install using Conda Forge. This is particularly useful for setting up specific Python environments.

• postBuild: The postBuild script is executed during the image build process. It automatically installs the latest braingeneerspy library and datasets into the /home/joyvan/data/ directory, ensuring you have access to the latest data and tools.

Usage

To use these Docker images, follow these steps:

1. Pull the Image: You can pull the latest version of the desired image from the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) classroom image or research image by running:

   docker pull ghcr.io/braingeneers/classroom:latest

   or

   docker pull ghcr.io/braingeneers/research:latest

2. Customize as Needed: If you have specific requirements, you can customize the Docker image by modifying the apt.txt and environment.yml files. This allows you to install additional packages and libraries as required.

3. Build a Codespace: You can use these Docker images to create GitHub Codespaces for your classroom or research projects. Refer to the GitHub Codespaces documentation for instructions on how to set up a Codespace using a custom Docker image.
