Using Singularity/Apptainer on Midway Cluster

Research Computing Center

John Crerar Library - Kathleen A. Zar Room

In computing, a container puts together in the application code its libraries and dependencies, any configuration files, and additional system tools it is reliant on. It virtualizes the operating system and runs anywhere by packaging everything you need to run an application into its data bundle.

Apptainer (formally known as Singularity) provides a simple, portable, fast, and secure way to run applications in isolated containers. This workshop aims to provide an overview of container features to help the user decide whether containers would be useful tools for their workflow. This workshop will cover Singularity syntax, container repositories, processes for working with container images, and some HPC use cases for containers.


 Learning Objectives
Singularity/Apptainer syntax, the use of container repositories
Techniques for working with container images
Some common containerization tools
How to run containers built by other people
How to build your own container
How to distribute their container online

Level: Introductory

Duration: 2 hours
