Docker image
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi, interproscan seems to have a lot of binary dependencies. Although a pre-compiled version is provided, it's not entirely unlikely that a user will have a system that is incompatible with those binaries. For example, at my institute our GLIBC is 2.17 which is lower than the version interproscan is compiled for.
A reasonable solution might be to provide a Docker image for interproscan, which could run on an old system using apptainer or podman. It seems there have been initiatives to do this in the past, but for example the interpro/interproscan image hasn't been updated for 2 years (5.51-85.0), whereas the newest version seems to be 5.63-95.0. I would be happy to contribute a Dockerfile for this, or help with updating an existing one if it exists?
Hi @multimeric ,
We've updated our Docker image on Docker Hub to support the latest version of InterProScan (5.63-95.0).
Many thanks!
