Updating the docker container and making a new module release

witty.er is a commercial tool from Illumina. The container provided for the witty.er nf-core module is not provided nor supported by Illumina. Updating the witty.er versions in the container and pushing the update to Dockerhub needs to be done manually. NOTE: an updated version of Dockerfile than the official one in github is used to build nf-core/wittyer:0.5.2, which is inserted here ./Dockerfile.

Navigate to the witty.er github repository. - witty.er

Download the latest release.

wget https://github.com/Illumina/witty.er/archive/refs/tags/<VERSION>.tar.gz

Uncompress the released package.
```
tar -xvf <VERSION>.tar.gz
```
Change to the uncompressed directory.

Build docker image using provided Dockerfile.

docker build -t wittyer:<VERSION> --platform linux/amd64 .

Access rights are needed to push the container to the Dockerhub nfcore organization, please ask a core team member to do so.
```
docker tag wittyer:<VERSION> quay.io/nf-core/wittyer:<VERSION>
docker push quay.io/nf-core/wittyer:<VERSION>
