AnyBody Container

Docker images for running containerized AnyBody simulations

The AnyBody container images can be used to run AnyBody simulations in Linux docker containers. Containers are hosted on the GitHub container registry.

docker pull ghcr.io/anybody/anybodycon:7.4.4-3

Container variants

The linux based containers uses Wine when running the Windows based AnyBody console application. The images uses wine "4.0.4" (slightly older version) to keep image as small as possible.

The containers come in multiple flavors:

• ghcr.io/anybody/anybodycon-slim:

  This is the minimal version of the container. It is based on debian:bullseye-slim. It is stripped down to keep the image as small as possible. It does not include the AnyBody Managed Model Repository (AMMR) or AnyBody's own windows based Python distribution. The total image size is 844 MB.

• anybodycon:

  This container has the complete version of the AnyBody modeling system (i.e. including AMMR etc.)

• anybodycon-micromamba:

  Both the slim and full image exist in versions with -micromamba postfix, which is has micromamba (conda) preinstalled in the container.

• anybodycon-github-actions:

  This is the full anybodycon-micromamba image configured for running in the GitHub actions CI system. It slso comes with python libaries relevant to AnyBody (e.g. anypytools, pytest) preinstalled to make CI jobs load faster. See the GitHub actions example for more info.

• anybodycon-devcontainer:

  This is the full anybodycon image configured for Development Containers, like for example GitHub Codespaces and similar services. See the VSCode documentaiton for more info. This image is based on the Microsoft Universal development container image but with AnyBody added on top.

Handle license for AnyBody

The container images only work with a floating based license for the AnyBody Modeling System (i.e. a license server). The license server can be specified using the two environment variables

• RLM_LICENSE=<port>@<server-ip>
• RLM_LICENSE_PASSWORD=*********

Note: The license password is not required, but if the container is used in public cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GitHub etc.) it is highly recommended :)

The license information can be passed to the docker container like this:

export RLM_LICENSE=<port-number>@<license-server-ip>
export RLM_LICENSE_PASSWORD=<license-server-password>

docker run -it -e RLM_LICENSE -e RLM_LICENSE_PASSWORD ghcr.io/anybody/anybodycon-linux:7.4.1-0

Windows based container

This is currently a work in progress.
