For an introduction on containers, see the "Building in containers" section
of the `README.md` file within the top-level directory of this
project. Here, we focus on Apptainer with a simple checklist on how to use
the `apptainer-run.sh` script that we have already prepared in this
directory for easy usage in a Maneage'd project.
## Building your Maneage'd project in Apptainer
Through the steps below, you will create an Apptainer image that will only
contain the software environment and keep the project source and built
analysis files (data and PDF) on your host operating system. This enables
you to keep the size of the image to a minimum (only containing the built
software environment) to easily move it from one computer to another.
1. Using your favorite text editor, create a `apptainer-local.sh` in your
project's top directory that contains the usage command shown at the
top of the 'apptainer.sh' script and take the following steps:
* Set the respective directories based on your own preferences.
* The `--software-dir` is optional (if you don't have the source
tarballs, Maneage will download them automatically. But that requires
internet (which may not always be available). If you regularly build
Maneage'd projects, you can clone the repository containing all the
tarballs at https://gitlab.cefca.es/maneage/tarballs-software
* Add an extra `--build-only` for the first run so it doesn't go onto
doing the analysis and just builds the image. After it has completed,
remove the `--build-only` and it will only run the analysis of your
project.
2. Once step one finishes, the build directory will contain two
Singularity Image Format (SIF) files listed below. You can move them to
any other (more permanent) positions in your filesystem or to other
computers as needed.
* `maneage-base.sif`: image containing the base operating system that
was used to build your project. You can safely delete this unless you
need to keep it for future builds without internet (you can give it
to the `--base-name` option of this script). If you want a different
name for this, put the same option in your
* `maneaged.sif`: image with the full software environment of your
project. This file is necessary for future runs of your project
within the container.
