Basic Singularity: Running and building Singularity containers

16 October 2024

(This is a collaboration between UPPMAX and HPC2N)

The online workshop is an introduction to the basic concepts of containerised software environment solutions within the Singularity framework https://sylabs.io/singularity/.

During the workshop you will have the opportunity to follow the interactive guide on

• how to run Singularity containers
• how to build your own
• good (and bad) practices on designing and building Singularity recipes
• build and/or host container remotely and what are the limitations

To fully benefit from the workshop, basic Linux system administration experience is highly desirable i.e. knowledge of package management and common tools for building and managing software: git, pip, conda, wget, curl, etc.
