Definition files for building [Nextflow]-compatible [Singularity] container
images to use in bioinformatics pipelines. Programs get containers in this
repository if I can't find an up-to-date container that also has Nextflow's
dependencies installed (usually `bash` and `ps` are the culprits). All of these
images are available on the [Sylabs Cloud Library] for easy access.
## Get started
1. [Install Singularity]
2. Enter the container, e.g.
```bash
singularity shell library://millironx/default/julia:latest
```
3. Execute commands, e.g.
```shellsession
Singularity> julia

## Where else to find container images
### State Public Health Bioinformatics (StaPH-B) Dockerfiles
[:globe_with_meridians: Website](https://staph-b.github.io/) -
[:octocat: GitHub](https://github.com/StaPH-B/docker-builds) -
[:whale: Docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/staphb)
All of these images are tested for Nextflow and Singularity compatability, and
are updated on a regular basis. I've even contributed to their repository.
### Biocontainers Registry
[:globe_with_meridians: Website](https://biocontainers.pro/) -
[:octocat: GitHub](https://github.com/BioContainers/containers) -
[:whale: Docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/biocontainers)
Most of these images are already in Singularity format, and there are _a lot_ of
tools for the picking here.
