Description

bzip2 is a freely available, patent free high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.

Mounting volumes between the container and your machine

To access files from your machine within the bzip2 container you’ll have to mount them using the -v external/path:internal/path option.

For example,

docker run -v ~/Documents/Data:/Data ghcr.io/autamus/bzip2 bzip2 /Data/myData.csv

which will mount the ~/Documents/Data directory on your computer to the /Data directory within the container.
