This Singularity image is intended to serve as base for all project images.

By default it starts up RStudio with an auto-selected port and password

Running Singularity Image

Run a singularity-rstudio-base container with singularity run shub://granek/singularity-rstudio-base

/tmp issues

It is recommended to do one of the following when running this image. There is no need to do both:

1. Set "mount tmp = no" in /etc/singularity/singularity.conf.
2. If #1 is not an option, the following command can be used to bind mount /tmp in the container to a "private" tmp directory:

SINGTMP="/tmp/${USER}_$$_tmp"; mkdir -p $SINGTMP; singularity run --bind $SINGTMP:/tmp shub://granek/singularity-rstudio-base

/tmp issues TLDR

If a second user tries on the same server tries to run an RStudio container they will have permission issues with /tmp/rstudio-server, which will be owned by the user who first ran an RStudio container.
