Need to install via Docker Desktop

[nkeiter]

Our biology department got new Windows 10 computers and installed Docker Desktop. They asked me to help load Phamdb because it's not working for them in Docker Desktop. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work in Docker Desktop as well. Would you be able to provide instructions on how to run Phamdb in Docker Desktop?

Hi, Sorry to hear that you're having trouble installing this. That's not surprising as I haven't updated this project since 2015 and the docker landscape has changed significantly since then. I wrote this as a project when I was a student. I now have a full time job and don't have time to provide support. I hope you're able to get it working!

That's understandable. Thanks for replying. I'll keep trying.

I'll also add that you must have written a great program. The department has been using it every year until now. They had a forced hardware upgrade this year.

Thanks! Of you're able to get it working I'd be happy to merge any changes or updated instructions which you submit. Or even just report back on this issue - other users might see it

I just got it working for us. I started by researching how to update a Dockerfile V1 to a Dockerfile V2. The first task was to update the FROM directive. Upon inspecting the FROM directive it didn't give me much information to go on. So I searched out the author mentioned in the FROM directive for more information about that build.

It turns out that author has been maintaining an updated version of Phamdb on the Docker Site!

From that point, all I had to do was navigate the nuance of setting up the Docker Desktop RUN Container. It seems the UI likes to hide important configuration fields.

I hope this answer helps others looking for a solution!
