How to convert a docker image to a singularity image:

docker run \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v D:\host\path\where\to\output\singularity\image:/output \
  --privileged -t --rm \
  filo/docker2singularity \
  ubuntu:14.04

Replace D:\host\path\where\to\output\singularity\image with a path in the host filesystem where your Singularity image will be created. Replace ubuntu:14.04 with the docker image name you wish to convert (it will be pulled from Docker Hub if it does not exist on your host system).

How to display line numbers for pasted code in NodeBB:

This is from here.

NB. (This isn't working for me)

Put this in your custom header (ACP -> Appearance -> Custom HTML & CSS -> Custom Header):

<script>
require(['highlight'], function (hljs) {
  require([
    'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlightjs-line-numbers.js/1.1.0/highlightjs-line-numbers.min.js'
  ], function () {
    $(window).on('load action:ajaxify.end', function () {
      setTimeout(function () {
        hljs.initLineNumbersOnLoad();
      }, 100);
    });
  });
});
</script>

NB. The contents of 'highlightjs-line-numbers.min.js' are:

!function(e){"use strict";function t(){"complete"===document.readyState?n():e.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",n)}function n(){try{var e=document.querySelectorAll("code.hljs");for(var t in e)e.hasOwnProperty(t)&&r(e[t])}catch(n){console.error("LineNumbers error: ",n)}}function r(e){if("object"==typeof e){var t=e.parentNode,n=o(t.textContent);if(n>1){for(var r="",c=0;n>c;c++)r+=c+1+"\n";var l=document.createElement("code");l.className="hljs hljs-line-numbers",l.style["float"]="left",l.textContent=r,t.insertBefore(l,e)}}}function o(e){if(0===e.length)return 0;var t=/\r\n|\r|\n/g,n=e.match(t);return n=n?n.length:0,e[e.length-1].match(t)||(n+=1),n}"undefined"==typeof e.hljs?console.error("highlight.js not detected!"):(e.hljs.initLineNumbersOnLoad=t,e.hljs.lineNumbersBlock=r)}(window);

%(#ffffff)[How to publish a package with npm:]

*Sign in with npm login:

npm login

You’ll be prompted to enter your username, password, and email address.

*Create a folder named how-to-publish-to-npm:

mkdir how-to-publish-to-npm

*Navigate into the folder:

cd how-to-publish-to-npm

*Begin the project with the npm init command:

npm init

This command runs you through a few questions and creates a package.json file for you at the end. This package.json file contains the bare necessities you need to publish your project. (Feel free to skip questions that don’t make sense).

*The final step is to publish your package with the npm publish command:

npm publish

How to install WebODM on Windows 10 home:

• Download Docker Toolbox and install it as an administrator. (You may need to uninstall VirtualBox first.)
• Launch Docker Quickstart Terminal as an administrator. Note down the IP address shown below the whale.

                        ##         .
                  ## ## ##        ==
               ## ## ## ## ##    ===
           /"""""""""""""""""\___/ ===
      ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~
           \______ o           __/
             \    \         __/
              \____\_______/

docker is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.99.100
For help getting started, check out the docs at https://docs.docker.com

• Download WebODM with Git and start it:

git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/WebODM --config core.autocrlf=input --depth 1
cd WebODM
sh ./webodm.sh start

• Navigate to port 8000 of the IP address recorded in the first step:

http://192.168.99.100:8000

• It is advisable to resize the VM associated with WebODM.

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
./VBoxManage clonemedium disk --format VDI "C:\Users\username\.docker\machine\machines\default\disk.vmdk" "C:\Users\username\.docker\machine\machines\default\disk.vdi"

./VBoxManage modifyhd "C:\Users\username\.docker\machine\machines\default\disk.vdi" --resize 100000

After resizing you will need to use a GParted VM to resize the partitions.

• If you want to stop WebODM then use the command:

sh ./webodm.sh down

• To completely stop WebODM you will have to also stop the VirtualBox VBoxHeadless process using the Windows task manager

How to push a docker image to Docker Hub:

• You need to have an account on Docker Hub. In this example the account is named 'ning'.
• The image must be built so that the account name is within the image name

Eg. for docker command:

docker tag nextflow_docker:202004201512  ning/nextflow_docker:202004201512

• For a docker-compose file:

version: '3'
services:
  nextflow_docker:
    build: ./nextflow_docker
    image: ning/nextflow_docker:latest

• Then you need to push:

docker logout
docker login
#login with your username and password (if you are on ubuntu you can ignore password keyring (agree but dont enter a password)
#NB. If you are on ubuntu and get the error message "Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached" , try the following command "sudo apt remove gnome-keyring golang-docker-credential-helpers"
docker push ning/nextflow_docker:latest

How to resize the left and right padding in large screens with CSS. (NB. Probably better to use bootstrap with 3 columns instead):

• In the head section:

<head>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
