The container workshop will give an introduction to Docker & Apptainer, which are great tools for achieving portability and reproducibility in your analysis. You will learn how to use containers and how to build a container from scratch, share it with others, and re-use and modify existing containers. After an extensive explanation of Docker containers, the Apptainer application (formerly Singularity) and its use in HPC will also be highlighted. 

Objectives

• Write a Docker recipe
• Build a Docker image
• Run a Docker image while working with volumes and ports
• Pull and push Docker image to/ from Docker Hub
