Common Issues

  1. Dockerhub pull rate limit

    1. Fix: make sure to set SINGULARITY_DOCKER_PASSWORD and SINGULARITY_DOCKER_USERNAME as docker rate limits unauthenticated users

  2. Boltdb/singularity cryptic errors

    1. Sometimes the singularity cache might get corrupted. It something breaks during a pull and “boltdb” file gets corrupted

      2. Fix: sometimes singularity cache clean and/or deleting `~/.local/share/containers/cache/blob-info-cache-v1.boltdb will fix it

  3. Arguments list too long

    1. Singularity version <3.7.1 has command length limits
