Further information

I followed the steps outlined in the issue #1150 by cboulanger. The sandbox runs totally fine:
apptainer run --no-home --cleanenv --writable-tmpfs --pwd "/work/ECOTOXKG/grobid_0.8.0" grobid_0.8.0/

Afterwards, I built a container out of it successfully:
apptainer build grobid_0.8.0.custom.sif grobid_0.8.0/

When running this container though, I got lmdb.ReadonlyError due to permission denied:
apptainer run --no-home --cleanenv --writable-tmpfs --pwd "/work/ECOTOXKG/grobid_0.8.0" grobid_0.8.0.custom.sif

how to open lmdb with write access when running the container using Apptainer? Is there a "writable" option somewhere in apptainer build or run command? I couldn't figure out. Thanks in advance!

well, looks like an easy fix. All I had to do is to add write permissions to /data and its subdirs under grobid_0.8.0 sandbox and rebuild it into a container image. Now all works well.

Please close this issue.
