Dockerfile needs to change Phylip download link

[ulyssebaruchel]

Hi, The Phylip link in the Dockerfile does not work anymore. I think it must be replaced by https://phylipweb.github.io/phylip/download/phylip-3.697.tar.gz.

And I think this has been raised before, but I was wondering if there was any plan to make a bioconda package for BraCeR, please? Or at least a Singularity biocontainer maybe?

Thank you

Hi @ulyssebaruchel,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I've fixed the Phylip download link in the docker file.

We don't currently have plans to make a bioconda package, would a singularity biocontainer be more useful than the current docker container which can be converted to singularity?

Dear @NickEngland, thank you for your answer. A functional and ready-made singularity biocontainer would amazing, please, especially because a colleague and I have not been able to build the Docker image from the Docker file even after fixing the Phylip link and trying to fix other errors that popped up. And our HPC cluster does not support Docker for safety reasons (root / sudo access needed I believe).

Hi @ulyssebaruchel , I've pushed https://github.com/Teichlab/bracer/releases/tag/v0.2.1 with an attached Singularity container for now. It's not biocontainer compliant, but I don't have the time to make those changes right now. If you do, feel free to issue a pull request!

Dear @NickEngland, thank you so much! Will try to do it if a pipeline using it gets deployed or published.

Great! Let me know how you get on. I'll close this issue now.
