Usage instructions

Hello!

Maybe I used it wrong in my GitHub actions workflow, but the README file example did not seem to work for me, saying "apptainer-version: 1.3.6" did not exist. However, I was able to get it to work via the below, so I wanted to at least share it.

The README file:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: eWaterCycle/setup-apptainer@v2
  with:
    apptainer-version: 1.3.6
- name: Run an apptainer container
  run: apptainer run docker://alpine cat /etc/os-release

What I got to work

steps:
      - name: Set Apptainer build pattern
        uses: actions/checkout@v4 
      - uses: eWaterCycle/setup-apptainer@v2 
        with:
          image: ghcr.io/apptainer/apptainer:latest

Thanks

The later just uses the default version (1.3.6) as "image" is not a input the action understands.

It works for me at eWaterCycle/remotebmi#49
In python.yml I have

      - uses: eWaterCycle/setup-apptainer@v2
        with:
          apptainer-version: 1.4.5

In job log it says

...

Can you supply where (repo, job log) you got this error?

Hello! Unfortunatly, I can not supply the repo, as it is private. I retested it on the working version and it seems to work also. I wonder if the issue was calling Apptainer out above in the yml file previously cause the incompatibility or error.

example:
container:
image: ghcr.io/apptainer/apptainer:1.4.5
options: --privileged
