2021-07-02: New tool Singularity Builder VM
Singularity images are used in a similar way to the well-known Docker container virtualization images. At D-ITET, Singularity images primarily serve to run containerized compute jobs (CPU/ GPU computing) with latest software versions, including applications of 3rd party repositories. Building and especially modifiying Singularity images however requires elevated system privileges, which are usually not available to customers of ISG D-ITET managed Linux clients. This is where Singularity Builder VM comes into play. It is an extensible virtual machine based environment which is well-integrated into the managed client infrastructure of ISG D-ITET, offering its users a maximum of flexibility and convenience regarding image creation and modification.
