This is solely for use for CI tests of the nf-core/module version of antiSMASH.
     Reason: Upon execution, the tool checks if certain database files are present within the container and if not, it tries to create them in /usr/local/bin, for which only root user has write permissions. Mounting those database files with this module prevents the tool from trying to create them.
+    These files are also emitted as output channels in this module to enable the antismash-lite module to use them as mount volumes to the docker/singularity containers.
