For this step, you will want to navigate back to your Container folder.
1. Verify files
Make sure your folder has all of the necessary files from before.
Container
├── adapter.py
├── data
│ ├── py4493.pk
│ ├── ad3010.pk
│ ├── adverse30501.pk
├── main.py
├── utils.py
├── presto_environment.yml
2. Create the Dockerfile
A Dockerfile is a file that is essentially a list of instructions Docker uses to create a container. Luckily, we don’t need to know much about how to create the file by hand as presto create does it for us! All it takes in is the language we are using and the file that holds all of our reconstruction code.
presto create
emily@VM:~/.../LMRt-container$ presto create
What is the command to run your main file?
Here are some examples:
- python3 main.py
- r main.R
- sh main.sh
> : python3 main.py
Dockerfile created!
You should now see a Dockerfile in your directory:
Container
├── adapter.py
├── data
│ ├── py4493.pk
│ ├── ad3010.pk
│ ├── adverse30501.pk
├── Dockerfile
├── main.py
├── utils.py
├── presto_environment.yml
The Dockerfile should look like the following:
FROM continuumio/anaconda3
RUN conda update -n base -c defaults conda
# setup conda environment
COPY presto_environment.yml .
RUN conda env create -f presto_environment.yml
RUN echo "conda activate presto_container" >> ~/.consolerc
SHELL ["/bin/console", "--login", "-c"]
RUN conda activate presto_container
# copy all files to the root directory of the container
COPY . /
# run the command in the context of the environment we made
CMD conda run --no-capture-output -n presto_container python3 main.py
If you didn’t change the name of your environment files, you will want to make sure you edit the Dockerfile and change the names of presto_environment.yml and presto_container
3. Build the Docker image
More information about what Docker Images are can be found here. Images are essentially what your container uses to run so they need to be built first.
Run presto build <name of your container> to start building the image. This
process can take a while. You should get a message when the image is done
building.
This process will take time to complete. On my personal machine it took 8-10 minutes but it might take more on other systems. You can leave this running in the background until it has completed
presto build model
emily@VM:~/.../LMRt-container$ presto build model
Building the image.... This might take a while
When the image has finished building you should see a lot of Docker logs as well as the following message
Building model image complete
We are now ready to start running the reconstruction model!
