Takes the drudgery out of binding volumes on Docker and (soon) Singularity

bindit is a wrapper for container runners that makes it easy to handle file input and output for containerised command-line applications. It works by detecting file paths in the container image arguments, and rebasing these as necessary onto new bind mounts.

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://bindit.readthedocs.io.

Features

• Detects references to relative or absolute path on local file system, bind mounts directories as necessary to make the paths available inside the container, and rebases the paths to point to the new mounts.

• Avoids interfering with or duplicating user-defined bind mounts

• absonly mode: ignore relative paths (useful if you have a python directory in your cwd…)

• dryrun mode: return a re-formatted container runner command (useful for distributed execution on HPCs, testing)
