The BIOP-desktop is a docker container that can be run on a remote server or alternatively on your local machine. In our case we run it on a Kubernetes cluster, orchestrated by RunAI.

Remote installation

Ideally :

you would contact your ITs to use a remote server with a GPU.
ITs might need to install docker and other dependencies and give you access to the server.

Then you can follow the Run instructions.

Local installation

Doing so, you will be able to run the BIOP-desktop on your local machine BUT :

you will need to do install docker and other dependencies yourself
you will need to figure out about drivers and GPU support yourself
you will need to store the docker image on your local machine (which can be quite big)
you will not have access to some software like clij/clij2/clix (as far as we know on 29.01.2024 OpenCL is not supported on WSL2)

Don’t let the few line above scare you, it is not that hard ;) and you’ll get a version of the BIOP-desktop that you can use offline.
