FWIW, we have been early adopters and promoters of singularity (largely
within neuroimaging field), using it "daily".
- using https://singularity-hub.org/ as a public builder/archive for
some images
- keeping all images under VCS using datalad (git-annex), with help of
https://github.com/datalad/datalad-container
- to facilitate archival, and reproducible execution (only recently
singularity came up with -e) established
https://github.com/ReproNim/containers/ which is a collection of
singularity images for neuroimaging + a helper
https://github.com/ReproNim/containers/blob/master/scripts/singularity_cmd
to ensure absent leakage of the outside env inside the containerized
(without using -e) + where possible/needed (OSX) execute it via docker
(there are some gotchas to resolve with some containers but generally
should work)
May be would be of some help/information
