The "Brain Imaging Data Structure" (BIDS) has become a widely adopted standard for organizing and sharing neuroimaging datasets of various modalities. However, converting raw brain imaging data into BIDS framework remains a complex and time-consuming task. BIDSme is a semi-automated tool developed to streamline this conversion process, but until recently, it lacked the portability and accessibility needed for widespread adoption. This paper presents the containerization of BIDSme using Docker and Docker Compose, improving usability, reproducibility, and integration into existing platforms like Neurodesk. It also details the design choices, iterative refinements, and validation process that led to a flexible, lightweight, and user-friendly containerized application.
