Updating the user environment¶
Users visiting https://hub.neurohackademy.org get to work within an instance of a Docker image (Docker container). By updating the image, you can for example make participants get a python package you know they may need pre-installed. Updating this image isn’t so complicated thanks to automation.
To update the Docker image, the only thing you have to do is to update this
configuration
by submitting a Pull Request. If a PR is merged automation will kick in, and you
can track it
here. First the
tool repo2docker will be used to build a
new image, if that succeeds https://hub.neurohackademy.org will get updated so
that any new users starting up following this will make use of the new image.
