Installation of Shiny-Seq docker container

Question

[fenguita]

Dear colleagues Do you have experience with Shiny-Seq package. I tried to run it from the Docker container, but I was unable to open it. I changed the communication port from 80 to 3838, with no results. Did you experience problems like that?. I contacted the authors but I got no answer by now. Thanks in advance All the best

Can you please point the repository or image you are trying to run? I don't see any Dockerfile in the project repo

[fenguita]

Thanks for your answer... Here is the Docker. You are looking at an older version of the software https://hub.docker.com/r/makaho/shiny-seq

Opening https://localhost:3838 is fine to me, also if I redirect to port 80:

$ docker run -it -p 80:3838 makaho/shiny-seq
