A unified repository for Dockerfiles and container build recipes used in bioinformatics workflows. This collection spans commonly used genomics tools (e.g., samtools, optitype, etc.) and custom environments tailored for reproducibility, portability, and deployment across HPC and cloud platforms.
Each tool has its own subdirectory with:
- Dockerfile
- Optional wrapper script necessary for building
Managing individual repositories for each tool became unnecessarily fragmented. This centralized structure:
- Reduces duplication
- Makes maintenance easier
- Simplifies CI/CD integration
- Supports batch updates and dependency tracking
You can build any container individually, here is an example workflow:
cd samtools
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t zlskidmore/samtools:latest .Each tool retains its original license. This repository only provides containerization logic.
