 will install a full local mirror of the UCSC website,

 You can then run the gbimage image that you just built as a new container in daemon mode (-d) and
 export its port to localhost:
 </p>
 
 <pre><code>docker run -d --name genomeBrowser -p 8080:80 gbimage</code></pre>

 The Apache server is running on port 8080 then and you should be able to access it via
