Apptainer (formerly Singularity)

NEWS: Singularity has been moved into the Linux Foundation and renamed to Apptainer! We are so excited about this, help us spread the word! Our community announcement here along with an FAQ can be found here: apptainer.org/news/community…

Hi. I’m back on Twitter/X after a long hiatus. Things have changed quite a bit since I’ve been around here, but I’m looking forward to reconnecting with others.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Apptainer v1.3.0 Released! We are super excited to announce that Apptainer 1.3.0 is now available. This release has many new features, changes, and bug fixes. Go here to check out the details: apptainer.org/news/apptainer…

I am super excited to announce that I have started a new role as “Head of Open Source Community” at @CtrlIQ! I’m diving into @rocky_linux, @SingularityApp, @OpenELAorg, and Warewulf in the coming weeks to see where I can help. If you see me lurking in your community, say hi :)

@4NY4SCII Yep! Know it well. :-) Use the LinuxFoundation community version called Apptainer and good things will happen. :-) It’s a bit late, but how did it go?

@AnthonyASnead Love this! …. Curious why you avoided Singularity/Apptainer before?

I always avoided singularity … I have been missing out. I do not know if I can ever go back. #bioinformatic #Containers

@unixterminal We looked for RedHat, couldn’t find them. What booth number are they at? Thanks!

@shinji_kono That is so wonderful to hear, thank you for the feedback!

@bmsacchi And as much as I love Apples, especially sliced with a bit of lemon juice, or on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Apptainer is even better!

Here is a great blog on how to upgrade Singularity(CE) to Apptainer from @CtrlIQ: ciq.com/blog/what-to-e…

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE: NIST/NVD has classified CVE 2023-30549 as a HIGH risk which affects all versions of Singularity(CE). Default installations of Apptainer >= 1.1.0 are safe thanks to its secure and unprivileged (rootless) execution model. nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CV…

Our very own Dave Godlove putting on a clinic! Here's a quick snap of our recent onsite training of @SingularityApp with a CIQ customer. Awesome job Dave!! If you're looking for Rocky Linux support, visit CIQ.co! #ciq #rockylinux #singularityapp #linuxsupport

SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT! All versions of Singularity and SUID-enabled Apptainer (< 1.1.8) increase the severity of issues like CVE-2022-1184 (which will NOT be fixed upstream by RHEL7 and compats). This is why Apptainer no longer runs as SUID by default. github.com/apptainer/appt…

Did you know that you can easily use @graph_tool with @SingularityApp? Singularity/Apptainer lets you run containers in HPC clusters *as a regular user*. This means you do not have to ask your sysadmin to install software for you!

Thank you @CtrlIQ, we love you too! 😘

@rblourenco @RAPIDSai @Docker @Alliance_Can That sounds like fun, let us know how everything turns out!

Building day: Getting @RAPIDSai docker image customize with dependencies, and save as a new version on @docker Hub. Now converting to @SingularityApp and then testing on @Alliance_Can. Hopefully later transforming everything into a Dockerfile to streamline the process...

@robmalouf @Docker Yep, we certainly think so! ❤️

@SingularityApp is way better than @Docker for reproducible research #AcademicTwitter

@RC_at_Leeds @johnhodrien @spackpm This is great, thank you!

📣NEW BLOG: Read all about @johnhodrien's adventures using WSL2, @spackpm and @SingularityApp for installing research software reproducibly! arc.leeds.ac.uk/blog/wsl2spack…

Come and join us for a Webinar discussion on #rootless and #unprivileged #containers for #HPC with #Apptainer (formerly #Singularity) live! youtu.be/VlbkYfVg7Nc

I prefer @SingularityApp on hpc environment but agree with the rest :)
