Local filesystem database for Singularity containers with LMOD

Singularity Registry HPC (shpc)

Singularity HPC is based off of the Singularity Registry Client, but instead of being intended for general interaction with Singularity containers and a local database, it's optimized for managing containers in an HPC environment. Currently, this includes:

• LMOD

You can use shpc if you are:

1. a linux administrator wanting to manage containers as modules for your cluster
2. a cluster user that wants to maintain your own folder of custom modules
3. a cluster user that simply wants to pull Singularity images as GitHub packages.

These use cases will be better flushed out and documented as the library is developed.

✅️ Tests to write ✅️

• Settings load, update, get, etc.
• Ensure that all defaults are present in settings (except for updated at)

There are other tools that you might be interested in!

• VA Research Computing has a similar system, but I couldn't find any code.
• Community Collections
• Spack installs modules for software built from source (not containers).

TODOS

• add other registry entries per request
• ensure that we print columns to shpc list
• test singularity build in actions, save to registry
• develop pull command for shpc for this type, along with GitHub action
• write tests for shpc
• write tests for a new registry entry
