Apptainer definition files

[stevejonesstanford]

Hi,

I recently found the Dockerfile support on the repo. It looks well supported and up-to-date.

Would it be possible to have Apptainer definition file support as well? This would make it far easier for users on our HPC systems to build and use container versions of VisIt.

Thanks!

Hi,

Forgot to include, any version of linux for the definition file is fine. Maybe Ubuntu? Rocky Linux?

@stevejonesstanford thanks for the suggestion we will look into how to provide apptainer recipes.

@stevejonesstanford Do you definitely want definition files, or would a pre-built .sif work?

I am currently having difficulty building from a .def file. Am looking into how to fix this.
I was, however, successful with creating a .sif from a newly created docker archive. (Ubuntu22, with VisIt built using system GL, not Mesa). Still working out the kinks, but wanted to check in with you.

Hi Kathleen, A pre-built .sif would be better :-) Steve
