# Singularity Builds [](https://cloud.sylabs.io/library/millironx/default) [](https://github.com/MillironX/singularity-builds/blob/master/LICENSE.md) 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 _ _ _ _(_)_ | Documentation: https://docs.julialang.org (_) | (_) (_) | _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "?" for help, "]?" for Pkg help. | | | | | | |/ _` | | | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 1.6.1 (2021-04-23) _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_| | Official https://julialang.org/ release |__/ | 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. ## Artwork Artwork was designed by [@MillironX] by remixing: - [DNA] by Scout (Public domain) - [Cardboard box] by Rushtini (Public domain) - [Pointing Boy in Baseball Cap] by ruthirsty (Public domain) - [Singularity Logo] by Sylabs (BSD 3-Clause) [Nextflow]: https://nextflow.io [Singularity]: https://sylabs.io/singularity [Sylabs Cloud Library]: https://cloud.sylabs.io/library/millironx/default [Install Singularity]: https://sylabs.io/guides/3.8/admin-guide/installation.html [@MillironX]: https://github.com/MillironX [DNA]: https://openclipart.org/detail/192915/dna [Cardboard box]: https://openclipart.org/detail/192915/dna [Pointing Boy in Baseball Cap]: https://openclipart.org/detail/281363/pointing-boy-in-baseball-cap [Singularity Logo]: https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/blob/master/docs/logos/singularity_v3.svg
