Installing Singularity on a Slurm CycleCloud cluster

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the best way to install tools like Singularity on a CycleCloud cluster.

I assume the available solution would be something like adding an installation instruction in a node configuration file, but it isn't immediately clear.

Can I get some directions to relevant documentations or some guidance please?

Best wishes

    The easiest way to install Singularity (or any package) is using Cloud-Init in the cluster settings

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cyclecloud/how-to/cloud-init?view=cyclecloud-8

    For example: 

    #cloud-config  
packages:  
  - nfs-utils  
  
runcmd:  
  - 'setenforce 0'  
  - 'sed -i –follow-symlinks "s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g" /etc/selinux/config'  
  - 'yum --enablerepo=extras install -y -q epel-release'  
  - 'yum install -y htop'  
  - 'yum install -y singularity'
