Singularity is installed on all nodes on the new cluster. 

On the old cluster, usage is as follows:
module load singularity/2.4.6
OR
module load singularity/2.2Installation

Images are kept here: /sw/Containers/singularity/images

singularity shell /sw/Containers/singularity/images/ubuntu-16.04.4-10GB.img

Another example:
module load singularity/2.4.6
singularity shell /sw/Containers/singularity/images/openEMS-ubuntu-16.04.img

Here is how to use the ubuntu container named YadeBox.simg on the new cluster

e.g: singularity shell /sw/singularity/Containers/singularity/3.2.0/images/YadeBox.simg

Singularity YadeBox.simg:/> cat /etc/*release*
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS"

Initial Prep:
=============

Copy the images into the local container folder:

mkdir ~/Container
cp /sw/Containers/singularity/images/delft3d4_latest.sif  ~/Container
cp /sw/Containers/singularity/images/delft3dfm_latest.sif  ~/Container


Shell into the container and create launcher script:
====================================================

Initial setup

1. shell into the container
=============================
For example:

singularity  shell -B /scratch/s12345:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s12345:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s12345/Container/delft3d4_latest.sif

For example:
singularity  shell -B /scratch/s2961948:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s2961948:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s2961948/Container/delft3d4_latest.sif

2. Create a variable file you can source

Once in the shell, create a variable file with contents like this:

vi /scratch/delft3denv.sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/bin:$PATH
module load mpich-x86_64

3. Manual Test Run
===================
source /scratch/delft3denv.sh
d_hydro

For example:

Singularity delft3d4_latest.sif:/scratch> d_hydro
d_hydro ABORT: Improper usage.  Execute "d_hydro -?" for command-line syntax


4. Create a Launcher Script;
===========================
Once you are happy that all step 1 ,2 and 3 works, you can create a launcherScript
While still inside the shell:

vi /scratch/d_hydroLauncher.sh

An example of the content is this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/bin:$PATH
module load mpich-x86_64
cd /scratch
d_hydro 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
make it executable:
chmod +x d_hydroLauncher.sh
Check if it gives the expected results:

./scratch/d_hydroLauncher.sh


5. Running it as a batch job:
==============================
Exit the shell and create this pbs script anywhere in your home directory:

A: Final d_hydroLauncher.sh
===========================
more ~/scratch/d_hydroLauncher.sh
/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/bin/d_hydro

B: Final PBS script
====================
more pbs.01
>>>>>>>>>
#!/bin/bash 
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -M YourEmail@griffith.edu.au
#PBS -N DelftJob  
#PBS -q gworkq  
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=12gb,walltime=00:00:30
cd  $PBS_O_WORKDIR
DELFT_PATH="/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/"
##export SINGULARITY_BINDPATH="$DELFT_PATH/bin" # Append this location to the container PATH
export SINGULARITYENV_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export SINGULARITYENV_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
export SINGULARITYENV_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/bin:$PATH
singularity exec -B /scratch/s12345:/scratch  /export/home/s12345/Container/delft3d4_latest.sif "/scratch/d_hydroLauncher.sh"
##d_hydro
exit
sleep 2
>>>>>>

Submit the job and check the results.

qsub pbs.01

Second method without using the launcher script:
=================================================
#!/bin/bash 
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -V
#PBS -M YourEmail@griffith.edu.au
#PBS -N DelftJob  
#PBS -q gworkq  
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=12gb,walltime=00:00:30
DELFT_PATH="/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64/"
export SINGULARITYENV_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib:
export SINGULARITYENV_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib
export SINGULARITYENV_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/bin
cd $HOME/scratch
singularity exec /export/home/s12345/Container/delft3d4_latest.sif d_hydro swaninit
exit
sleep 2

#!/bin/bash
#PBS -V
#PBS -M YourEmail@griffith.edu.au
#PBS -N DelftJobMPI
#PBS -q gworkq
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=5:mem=12gb,walltime=00:02:00
module load mpi/mpich-3.2-x86_64 # note that this is the available module
DELFT_PATH="/opt/delft3d_latest/lnx64"
MPICH_ROOT="/usr/lib64/mpich-3.2"
##export SINGULARITY_BINDPATH="$DELFT_PATH/bin" # Append this location to the container PATH
export SINGULARITYENV_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib:$MPICH_ROOT/lib
# export SINGULARITYENV_LIBRARY_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/lib:$MPICH_ROOT
export SINGULARITYENV_PATH=$DELFT_PATH/bin
export SINGULARITY_BINDPATH="$MPICH_ROOT"
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
NPROCS=$( cat $PBS_NODEFILE | wc -l )
mpiexec -n $NPROCS singularity exec $HOME/Container/delft3d4_latest.sif d_hydro swaninit
exit
sleep 2

Initial Prep:
=============

Copy the images into the local container folder:
mkdir ~/Container
cp /sw/Containers/singularity/images/MitoZ.simg ~/Container/

Shell into the container and create launcher script:
====================================================

Initial setup

1. shell into the container
=============================
For example:

singularity  shell -B /scratch/s12345:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s12345:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s12345/Container/MitoZ.simg

For example:
singularity  shell -B /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s2981868/Container/MitoZ.simg

2. Determine where the app is installed

e.g: /app/release_MitoZ_v2.2
You may need to export the PATh variable as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH

3. Create a variable file you can source

Once in the shell, create a variable file with contents like this, commenting out stuff that is not needed.

more /scratch/Mitoenv.sh
echo "export PATH=/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2:/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2/bin:$PATH" >/scratch/Mitoenv.sh
#Other environmental variables that may need to be exported are the following
#echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >>/scratch/Mitoenv.sh
#echo "export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH" >>/scratch/Mitoenv.sh
#echo "export PATH=/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2:/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2/bin:$PATH" >>/scratch/Mitoenv.sh
#module load mpich-x86_64

source this file and check if the app launches properly
e.g:

source /scratch/Mitoenv.sh


4. Create a Launcher Script;
===========================
Once you are happy that all step 1 ,2 and 3 works, you can create a launcherScript
You can do this after exiting the virtual environment:

vi ~/scratch/mitozLauncher.sh

An example of the content is this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>

export PATH=/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2:/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2/bin:$PATH
#Other environmental variables that may need to be exported are the following
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
#export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH"
#export PATH=/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2:/app/release_MitoZ_v2.2/bin:$PATH
#module load mpich-x86_64
cd /scratch
MitoZ.py 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
make it executable:
chmod +x ~/scratch/mitozLauncher.sh
Check if it gives the expected results:

singularity exec -B /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s2981868/Container/MitoZ.simg "/scratch/mitozLauncher.sh"

Once you are satisfied, you may add complex command instructions into this launcher file.

5. Running it as a batch job:
==============================
Outside of the virtual environment, please create this pbs script anywhere in your home directory:

vi ~/scratch/pbs.01

>>>>>>>>>
#!/bin/bash 
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -M YourEmail@griffith.edu.au
#PBS -N TestMitoZ
#PBS -q workq
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=2gb,walltime=30:00:00
cd  $PBS_O_WORKDIR
singularity exec -B /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch/s2981868:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s2981868/Container/MitoZ.simg "/scratch/mitozLauncher.sh"
exit
sleep 2
>>>>>>

Submit the job and check the results.

qsub pbs.01

if you need to change the $PATH of your container at runtime there are a few environmental variables you can use:


SINGULARITYENV_PREPEND_PATH=/good/stuff/at/beginning to prepend directories to the beginning of the $PATH
SINGULARITYENV_APPEND_PATH=/good/stuff/at/end to append directories to the end of the $PATH
SINGULARITYENV_PATH=/a/new/path to override the $PATH within the container

Other options:

 singularity pull shub://singularity-hub.org/truatpasteurdotfr/singularity-docker-centos7-devtoolset

To build an image 
singularity pull  docker://public.docker.itc.griffith.edu.au/biocontainers/blast:2.2.31

To run a container
singularity run docker://public.docker.itc.griffith.edu.au/godlovedc/lolcow

# Download the container into a permanent image file
###Old method which will not work anymore ###http_proxy=http://s3proxy.itc.griffith.edu.au:3128  singularity pull my_blast.sif docker://biocontainers/blast:2.2.31 

singularity pull my_blast.sif docker://public.docker.itc.griffith.edu.au/biocontainers/blast:2.2.31

Another example:
singularity pull lolcow_latest.sif docker://public.docker.itc.griffith.edu.au/godlovedc/lolcow

# Now run it from the image file
singularity exec my_blast.sif blastp -version
blastp: 2.2.31+
Package: blast 2.2.31, build Apr 23 2016 15:49:47 Package: blast 2.2.31, build Apr 23 2016 15:49:47
Using GPU(s) with a Container
This is useful on the n060 node with gpu cards

A docker or singularity container built to use an NVIDIA GPU should be run with the--nv option 

singularity pull docker://public.docker.itc.griffith.edu.au/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-jupyter

singularity run --nv  tensorflow_latest-gpu-jupyter.sif

(-B /run is needed for some images (using e.g. jupyter, that give an error otherwise. For that, use this syntax:
singularity run --nv –B /run tensorflow_latest-gpu-jupyter.sif) 
Most docker containers run successfully under Singularity Some need to be run with special options
Few cannot be used 
Docker is optimized for running services in isolated containers 

Need to add back other cluster filesystems with -B option... 
singularity exec --contain -B /project -B /archive 

singularity exec -B /scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch/scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s1234/Container/openfoam6-paraview54_latest.sif-centos env|more

singularity exec -B /scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch/scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/s1234/Container/openfoam6-paraview54_latest.sif-centos cat /scratch/singularity_launch.03

look at the runscript, and envrionment
=================================
singularity inspect -e  /export/home/s1234/Container/openfoam6-paraview54_latest.sif-centos

singularity inspect -r  /export/home/s1234/Container/openfoam6-paraview54_latest.sif-centos

singularity exec -B /scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch/scratch/s1234:/scratch --pwd /scratch  /export/home/1234/Container/openfoam6-paraview54_latest.sif-centos /.singularity.d/runscript

1. Find the Docker image ID.
docker images
REPOSITORY        TAG       IMAGE ID        CREATED        SIZE
hello-world       latest    bf756fb1ae65    5 months ago   13.3kB
godlovedc/lolcow  latest    577c1fe8e6d8    2 years ago    241MB

2. Create a tarball of the Docker image. 
For the Docker image you want to port to Griffith HPC, 
for example, godlovedc/lolcow with an image ID of 577c1fe8e6d8, 
create a tarball using the docker save command:
docker save 577c1fe8e6d8 -o lolcow.tar 

3. Copy the tarball to Griffith HPC
Use scp or winscp or cyberduck etc 
scp lolcow.tar 10.250.250.3:/tmp

4. Convert the tarball to a Singularity image.
module load singularity
singularity build --sandbox lolcow docker-archive://lolcow.tar

If the tarball is not in the current working directory, specify the path, for example, /tmp:
singularity build --sandbox lolcow docker-archive:///tmp/lolcow.tar
singularity build --sandbox pytorch docker-archive:////sw/Containers/docker/pytorchnew.tar

In this example, lolcow is the directory name of the Singularity image.

5. Run the Singularity sandbox as usual for testing. Once testing is over, use it in a pbs script (see example above). 
For example: 
singularity shell lolcow
singularity exec lolcow cowsay hello
singularity run lolcow

This is for advance users

source /usr local/bin/s3proxy.sh
module load singularity
singularity build [--fakeroot] --sandbox lolcow lolcow.def
