GMS Installation on Docker

The GMS can be installed on a Docker image, the steps to install GMS on a docker-image are described below,

1. Install Docker. Refer here for details about the installation. Docker works best on Linux on a recent kernel. Installing on a Mac is a bit of a hack.

2. Pull the Docker image to install the GMS from the Docker-cloud.

sudo docker pull gatoravi/sgms_jdoe

3. Login to the Docker image,

sudo docker run --privileged -i -t gatoravi/sgms_jdoe /bin/bash

4. Switch user to 'jdoe' (a temporary user created by us) on the Docker image(pw is genomes1),

sudo -i -u jdoe

5. Clone the GMS repo

git clone https://github.com/genome/gms -b docker-test

6. Install the GMS

cd gms; make dockerinit; make

Note - You might have to run a sudo apt-get update during the install if you get a warning that your repos are out of date.
