Description:

The XNAT Container Service plugin allows XNAT to control containers (primarily Docker containers). Containers are a lightweight and flexible way of running processes on XNAT data, similar to pipelines in their usage. Once configured by an XNAT administrator, XNAT users can launch containers on their project data and see results nearly instantaneously.

To use it, you will need an XNAT running 1.7.3+. Get the containers--fat jar and put it into your {xnat.home}/plugins directory. Restart tomcat and you are ready to run containers. See the guide to getting started: https://wiki.xnat.org/display/CS/Getting+Started

A list of XNAT-approved Docker Images that are supported by the Container Service plugin can be found here: https://wiki.xnat.org/display/CS/List+of+Containers+and+Commands
