Bioinfo-Core teleconference: Alex Peltzer demo on nexflow and nf-core.

After the positive feedback from the ISMB workshop, Alex Peltzer has agreed to run a demo for the bioinfo-core on nextflow and nf-core. This will be on November 6th, 3 PM GMT. Details on how this will occur are being finalized but I would invite everyone to submit any questions ahead of the demo so we can all get the most out of it.

Please add your questions below:

• How to configure a pipeline for all users?
• How/where is the best location to store pipelines and make them accessible for users?
• How bad are the docker vulnerabilities?
• How to configure Dockerized pipelines properly?
• How to convert Docker pipelines to singularity (with and without AWS)?
• Easiest pipelines to create from scratch

a What do you mean with that? How would I start writing a pipeline and give advice to a beginner on how to do that?

• Resources per pipeline language? Such as YAML files for each tool?

b Not sure what you mean with this - do you mean how we define dependencies per pipeline?

• Running the pipeline manager: Once per user? How to enforce port usage? If once per server, how to only use individual users outputs?
