VirMine: docker container can't be built due to outdated and unavailable dependencies. Even with that resolved myself, they install a package that needs CLI input during container building which cannot be supplied so it gets stuck in a loop. Cannot be installed.

MetaRon is a tool for metagenomic operon prediction that was published in BMC Genomics in 2020. As far as I can tell, no one has been able to get it to work, and the authors are unresponsive on GitHub. If I knew any python, I would take a crack at fixing it.
