Bioinformatics with python Cookbook 2nd edition issues

Question

[Raz]

Hi dear community,

I just started reading Bioinformatics with python cookbook 2nd edition, and run into an issue with docker authentication.

When I run the described command docker run -ti -p 9875:9875 -v YOUR_DIRECTORY:/data bio in the Ubuntu shell it returns a link where I need to get my login token, but the link seems not working as the browser returns that server is not found.

If you have encountered such error, what was your solution?

Give us a link to the cookbook (if it's online). Also read the prerequisites provided in the book more thoroughly. In all probability, you're missing something.

Forget about docker , cloud computing, workflow management etc.

Those concepts are not bioinformatics at all, those are IT infrastructure elements that, later on, once you are an expert bioinformatician could be needed.

Much better to start with the basics and find resources that do not lead you in those directions. It is a bit like learning about marathon-winning strategies before you ran your first 5K.

Thank you for your answer, can you suggest some introductory resources. I want to learn RNA-seq analysis and Metagenomics.

Thank you in advance.
