Download

docker pull icebert/ucsc_genome_browser

docker pull icebert/ucsc_genome_browser_db

Demo Run

docker run -d --name gbdb -p 3338:3306 icebert/ucsc_genome_browser_db

docker run -d --link gbdb:gbdb -p 8038:80 icebert/ucsc_genome_browser

Run with local data files

Assume local data is going to be stored in /my/data/path

First copy the basic database files into /my/data/path from docker

docker run -d --name gbdb -p 3338:3306 icebert/ucsc_genome_browser_db

cd /my/data/path && docker cp gbdb:/data ./ && mv data/* ./ && rm -rf data

docker stop gbdb

Then put database files into /my/data/path. For example, mirror all the tracks of hg38 from ucsc genome browser

rm -rf /my/data/path/hg38

rsync -avP --delete --max-delete=20 rsync://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/mysql/hg38 /my/data/path/

Finally start the database server and genome browser server

docker run -d --name gbdb -p 3338:3306 -v /my/data/path:/data icebert/ucsc_genome_browser_db

docker run -d --link gbdb:gbdb -p 8038:80 icebert/ucsc_genome_browser

MySQL Access

The mysql server listens on port 3338. The default username for mysql is 'admin' with password 'admin'.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3338 -u admin -p
