Singularity containers for Cylc

Cylc Singularity Container

Example singularity container for Cylc.

See this repository for Docker images.

Creating the container for Cylc 7.8.1

sudo singularity build cylc-7.8.1.simg Singularity-cylc-7.8.1

Once the command is done, you should have a binary called cylc-7.8.1.simg. You can then execute Cylc with

./cylc-7.8.1.simg check-software

Or even register suites, and run Cylc as you would normally run it. You can rename it to cylc and store somewhere in your $PATH, without having to really install Cylc.

Accessing the container

Assuming you have installed Singularity, try the following:

singularity shell cylc-7.8.1.simg

That should give you a shell within the container.
