Temporary folder for cache building singularity containers at HPC #17
Description
When pulling containers, normally singularity is using the /tmp folder for storing the cache. For large containers the /tmp is too small and hence building the container via biomero is not working. It is recommended to
It is recommended to set the singularity/apptainer cache to the scratch
export SCRATCH = /scratchdata/$USER export APPTAINER_TMPDIR=$SCRATCH/.apptainer-tmp export APPTAINER_CACHEDIR=$SCRATCH/.apptainer-cache mkdir -p $APPTAINER_TMPDIR mkdir -p $APPTAINER_CACHEDIR
Is there a way to set this cache dirs in biomero or should I just add this to e.g. my ~/.bashrc . In that case it might be useful to mention this in the documentation.
