Setting up a robust development environment for Nextflow training across local and HPC systems requires a unified solution. Code-server provides a browser-based VS Code interface accessible from any machine, making it perfect for teams collaborating on Nextflow workflows. This guide walks you through configuring a complete Nextflow training environment with code-server, Singularity containers, and Pixi-managed tools.

For a comprehensive introduction to Pixi and package management, see our Pixi new-conda era.

Running interactive web applications like RStudio, JupyterLab, and Code Server in containers is a powerful way to provide reproducible analysis environments. However, users often need to spawn additional containerized tools from within these applications. Docker out of Docker (DooD) elegantly solves this by allowing containers to access the host's Docker daemon. This post explains how to set up DooD for interactive web applications and why it's the right approach for bioinformatics workflows.
