This docker image allows to run a container with all the software needed for eDNA analysis. Independently from your operating system, ubuntu is launched with all the software pre-installed in a self-contained environment. Keep in mind that any modifications made inside the container (e.g. packages newly installed or files modified) will be lost after stopping it. Therefore, you need to use the `-v` argument to mount the local files inside the container as explained in the tutorial bellow. Modification made to the mounted files will not be lost and you can even create new files from inside the container in the mounted path.
The container includes Rstudio web interface which provides an R IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with a terminal to execute any bash command you may need.
## Docker tutorial
### Linux
Start the docker daemon by running:
```bash
sudo dockerd
```
In another terminal, download the image from dockerhub and run it with the following command:
```bash
docker run -v path/to/your/local/file:path/inside/the/container -p 8787:8787 thesanc/edna_tools
```
You should now be able to have access to the Rstudio instance by typing `localhost:8787` in your browser. You can log in with `rstudio` as username and the password provided by the output of the `docker run` command.
