--template-resampling-grid {my_locally_stored_template.nii.gz}

1

Using fmriprep-docker v1.2.5 I am trying to use the --template-resampling-grid option and give a specific file as an argument (specifically, the MNI152_T1_2mm.nii.gz template included in the HCP pipelines). The file lives on my system on the same partition as the BIDS data, and is rwxrwxr-x, so should be accessible.

It however seems that the file cannot be found by the docker. What am I missing?

Here is the output to the screen:

It seems that the fmriprep-docker does not mount the folder for this particular argument. You have two options until we fix this:

  1. Put template in one of the: output, input, work_dir folders (those are automatically mounted). Use that path.
  2. Get the docker command line printed by fmriprep-docker and add something like -v /data/templates/HCP/:/data/templates/HCP/:ro next to other -v arguments. More about mounting docker volumes: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/

Thanks Chris! I chose solution 2.
of note, since the input dataset is mounted as /data when using fmriprep-docker, I ended up with the following two arguments to docker run:

-v /data/templates/HCP:/imports/templates/HCP:ro
–template-resampling-grid /import/templates/HCP/MNI152_T1_2mm.nii.gz

BTW you can help us fix this bug: https://github.com/poldracklab/fmriprep/issues/1462 It would be a great way to get involved in the project.
