Earthly VS Singularity Container

Make is excellent if you use it properly to model your dependencies. This works really well for languages like C/C++, but I think Make really struggles with languages like Go, JavaScript, and Python or when your using a large combination of technologies. I've found Earthly [0] to be the _perfect_ tool to replace Make. It's a familiar syntax (combination of Dockerfiles + Makefiles). Every target is run in an... - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

Earthly solves this really well: https://earthly.dev They rethink Dockerfiles with really good caching support. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Earthly https://earthly.dev/ Fast, consistent builds with an instantly familiar syntax – like Dockerfile and Makefile had a baby. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

We are big fans of https://earthly.dev/! Although we haven't personally used Dagger, Earthly has solved our multi-service integration testing problem with elegance. Simple builds + caching baked in. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

This one is ridiculous. This should already exist. Until GitHub builds it, you can use GitHub Actions to kick your builds off but run them remotely on Earthly Cloud (https://earthly.dev/). Even the free tier includes arm64 remote runners. Note: I work at Earthly, but I'm not wrong about this being a good, free, arm64-native workflow for GitHub Actions. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I highly recommend checking out Singularity for your computational software. Running your software within containers allows you a lot of freedom, although it does create some complexity in regards to MPI based parallelization. Source: almost 2 years ago

Use a singularity image to contain what you want to deploy and give access on the jump host to the image. Permissions flow from existing OS permissions. https://sylabs.io/singularity/. Source: over 2 years ago

Singularity This is a HPC focused container system that has large industry support. You can use this to package finicky software that only runs on specific linux distributions or only allows for RPM/Deb installations. It is also another mechanism for users to bring their own software and it integrates fairly well with both Slurm and HTCondor. Source: over 2 years ago

> and it was then when they came up with a pretty cool name for their new OS — Singularity. Or, it was then when they (intentionally?) ripped off the name of an existing, open source, OS-related project. https://sylabs.io/singularity/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
