biom-conversion-server

A simple php server that can convert biom version 2
(hdf5)
files and data to biom version 1
(json)
and vice versa. It simply provides a web and API interface to the convert
feature of the official python biom format
tool.
This project is not part of the official biom project.

Getting started

To run your own conversion server on localhost port 8080 using the
docker container execute the following commands:

docker pull iimog/biom-conversion-server
# Use any other port by exchanging 8080 with your desired port number
docker run -d --publish 8080:80 --name biomcs iimog/biom-conversion-server

Now you can visit your conversion server in the browser at
http://localhost:8080 And you can point tools that use the conversion
api as a webservice to http://localhost:8080/convert.php (e.g.
biojs-io-biom).
