Instructions for running bioKepler in Docker.

1. Download the bioKepler image

   docker pull kepler/biokepler:1.1

2. Run the image

   docker run -dP kepler/biokepler:1.1

3. The container starts a VNC server listening on an exposed port. Use the following command to determine the port.

   docker ps -a
   
   e73780a1517a        kepler/biokepler:1.1   /bin/sh -c 'tightvnc   13 seconds ago      Up 12 seconds       0.0.0.0:49153->5900/tcp        
   

   The output says port 49153 is exposed, but it maybe be different for your system.
4. Connect with a VNC client to the port.
