vm-singularity-build

Build singularity images from recipe files inside a vagrant virtual machine. Useful in the narrow case that you don't have root access where you need to build, but vagrant and VirtualBox are available.

Usage

# Clone this repo
git clone git@github.com:dctrud/vm-singularity-build.git
cd vm-singularity-build

# Build a recipe file (in this dir) into a container image
# (creates example.def.simg)
./vm-singularity-build example.def

Limitations

• Recipe file must be inside this directory
• Files copied into the image, during the build, must exist in this directory and are available at build time under /vagrant
