Docker container (base) for the converter software
This directory contains all the files needed to create the base Docker image used for the converter software in projects.
A specific project's translation script can be executed either in an app like manner (I.O.U. a link to the anchor here), calling it directly from within the container, using a local copy executed by the container (I.O.U. a link to the anchor here), or in an interactive shell within the container (I.O.U. a link to the anchor here).
Building & running the Docker container
This is a quick tour on how to build and run the Docker container through different scenarios. This is not a lecture on containerisation in general, nor Linux/ Unix, shell scripting or programming. But if you encounter a specific problem, feel free to ping the MA team.
This section describes three use cases of the Docker container (including a build-how to per use case) but starts with a short primer of what is common to all scenarios described here.
