BACKGROUND The Docker project is providing a promising strategy for the development of virtualization systems in bioinformatics. However, implementation, management, and launching of Docker containers is not entirely trivial for users not fully familiarized with command line interfaces. This has prompted the development of graphical user interfaces to facilitate the interaction of inexperienced users with Docker environments. RESULTS We describe the BioPortainer Workbench, an integrated Docker system that assists inexperienced users in interacting with a bioinformatics-dedicated Docker environment at 3 main levels: (i) infrastructure, (ii) platform, and (iii) application. CONCLUSIONS The BioPortainer Workbench represents a pioneering effort in developing a comprehensive and easy-to-use Docker platform focused on bioinformatics, which may greatly assist in the dissemination of Docker virtualization technology in this complex field of research.

Bioportainer Workbench：一个通用且用户友好的系统，集成了Docker环境中生物信息学资源的实施，管理和使用。

背景技术Docker项目为生物信息学中的虚拟化系统开发提供了一种有前途的策略。但是，对于不完全熟悉命令行界面的用户而言，Docker容器的实现，管理和启动并非完全无关紧要。这促使图形用户界面的开发，以促进经验不足的用户与Docker环境的交互。结果我们描述了BioPortainer Workbench，这是一个集成的Docker系统，可在3个主要级别上帮助经验不足的用户与专用于生物信息学的Docker环境进行交互：（i）基础架构，（ii）平台和（iii）应用程序。结论BioPortainer工作台代表着开拓性的先驱，致力于开发一个全面且易于使用的Docker平台，该平台专注于生物信息学，
