Action
Use CernVM-FS on batch?
Singularity
CernVM-FS can be accessed on head-01.arcc.albany.edu using singularity. Singularity allows users to spawn secure containers, giving them full control over their environment without root privileges. For more information, please see https://www.sylabs.io/.
ITS provides a singularity image that can be run, giving a user access to /cvmfs/ without root. The .def file can be found on github at https://github.com/nschiraldi/singularity/blob/master/singularity.cernvmfs. While you cannot build an image on head-01.
Instructions
/cvmfs/ is mounted on all compute and interactive hosts. You can test access by SSH into head.arcc.albany.edu , they can be built via github + singularity-hub (https://www.singularity-hub.org/) CI/CD, or on a local machine and pushed to singularity-hub, then pulled down to head-01.arcc.albany.edu and run, seamlessly. How-to:
...
There are two ways to access the image, from a shared network path, or to pull it down to a directory of your choice.
