Description

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.

Usage

Pull (Download)

To download the latest version of wget run,

docker pull ghcr.io/autamus/wget:latest

or to download a specific version of wget run,

docker pull ghcr.io/autamus/wget:1.21.1

Run

To run the container as an application run,

docker run --rm ghcr.io/autamus/wget wget --version

or to run the container in an interactive session run,

docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/autamus/wget bash

Mounting volumes between the container and your machine

To access files from your machine within the wget 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/wget wget /Data/myData.csv

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

HPC

If you’re looking to use this container in an HPC environment we recommend using Singularity-HPC to use the container just as any other module on the cluster. Check out the SHPC wget container here.
