Space Telescope Science Institute Environment Docker Image

Processing and analysing Hubble Space Telescope (HST) & James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) often requires access to tools developed and maintained by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), avilable through their Conda/Mamba environment stenv: stenv.readthedocs.io

I'm often hesitant to install big software packeges on my laptop, especially when I'm not sure how much I'll end up using it. Thus was this repo born!

Features

  • Fully functional STScI stenv in a docker container
  • Jupyter Lab access to stenv via the docker container

Usage

One can either pull the stenv docker container form: hub.docker.com, or build the image locally.

1. Docker Hub

docker pull achokshi/stenv

2. Build Image
git clone git@github.com:amanchokshi/stenv-docker.git
docker build -t stenv -f Dockerfile .
3. Running the Container

Run the docker container with: docker run --rm -it -v <VOLUME>:/root/<NAME> -p 8888:8888 stenv This mounts a local <VOLUME> to the /root/<NAME> directory of the docker container making data or notebooks accessible from within. Port 8888 is exposed to allow for Jupyter connections

When the container is activated, the stenv conda environment is already active, as seen in the prompt

(stenv) root@22c6856788e2:~#

You can either work directly from the terminal, or spin up a Jupyter Lab or notebook session with:

jupyter-lab --allow-root --ip='*' --port=8888

which should be accessible from a browser at localhost:8888/lab
