Sample VNC Apptainer

This repo contains sample Apptainer recipes along with a Makefile to build one on UW Hyak Klone.

These Apptainer containers are used by hyakvnc.py to start a VNC session.

Available Apptainers:

• ubuntu20.04
• rockylinux

Build Steps

Following guidance from Hyak's Documentation, We will need to build the container on an interactive work node:

salloc -A <mygroup> -p <mypartition> -N 1 -n2 --mem=10G --time=2:00:00
module load apptainer/1.1.5

Navigate to this directory then run make with the name of container specified:

cd /path/to/hyak_vnc_apptainer
make CONT_NAME=rockylinux

If successful, a container file ending with .sif can be found in the directory with the same name as the container.
