Building the docker container for DFPL

The docker container is built automatically for the latest version of DFPL, and information how to download/use them can be found in the main README.md of this repository. This guide is only for those who want to build the container locally.

To build the container, you need docker installed on your machine.

docker build -t TAG -f container/Dockerfile ./

Replace TAG by a tag of your choice and run the container with

docker run TAG dfpl DFPL_ARGS

replacing DFPL_ARGS with the arguments for dfpl.

Building the singularity container for DFPL

If you want to be able to run the container as a normal user, you need to configure it appropriately when building Singularity from source. In the configuration step, you should provide

$ ./mconfig --without-suid --prefix=/home/patrick/build

where the last prefix option defines where Singularity will be installed. All other steps are as pointed out in the documentation linked above.

In order to obtain a singularity container the docker container needs to be built first. Then run:

singularity build FILENAME.sif  docker-daemon://TAG
