Running EasyBuild inside a singularity container
Install singularity: http://singularity.lbl.gov/install-linux
As root:
First create an empty image
$> singularity create -s 4096 centos7.2-easybuild3.0.1
Now bootstrap it
$> singularity bootstrap centos7.2-easybuild3.0.1 centos-7.2-easybuild-3.0.1.bootstrap
As regular user:
Once bootstrap is done open run the container as standard user (non root)
$> singularity shell --shell /bin/bash centos7.2-easybuild3.0.1
If you want write permissions in the container:
$> chown yourusername centos7.2-easybuild3.0.1
$> singularity shell --shell /bin/bash -w centos7.2-easybuild3.0.1
Once inside the container
$> source /etc/profile.d/z00_lmod.sh
$> eb --help
