+The call to the validation tool (almost) stays the same, it just needs instructions to start the Docker container as a prefix:
 
+```bash
+$ docker run --rm -i -v /home/user/models:/data -t registry.scicore.unibas.ch/schwede/mabakerimport/mmcif-dict-suite:dev validate-mmcif-file /data/model.cif
+{"status":"completed","diagnosis":[],"versions":[{"title":"mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic","version":"5.358","location":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ihmwg/ModelCIF/a24fcfa8d6c3ceb4b6f0676bcc341ac0cd24ff1f/base/mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic"},{"title":"mmcif_ma.dic","version":"1.4.0","location":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ihmwg/ModelCIF/a24fcfa8d6c3ceb4b6f0676bcc341ac0cd24ff1f/dist/mmcif_ma.dic"}]}
