Hello,
A quick internet search failed me, so my apologies if the answer to this is
well known.
Is there a service that automatically builds software containers for each
Debian Med application* package?
As discussed at this week's biocontainers workshop, while they themselves
won't be building containers for non-bioconda packages, they are happy to
list container images built by other communities.
So wherever we have a Debian package for a bio/med app that isn't in
bioconda, it would be nice to auto create a Docker/Singularity container
for inclusion in the biocontainers.pro registry. Since the container build
process would be mostly just `apt install ${package}` (and thus fairly
quick) we can leverage existing free services to keep these up to date.
*Non-library, non-dev, non-service. Basically the command line tools used
by researchers to perform data analysis and transformation.
