Previously, I also tested Apptainer on Amazon Linux 2, and experienced similar issues. https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/issues/1150
same here cannot install apptainer:
[root@fro ~]# dnf install -y https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/releases/download/v1.2.4/apptainer-1.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides fuse-overlayfs needed by apptainer-1.2.4-1.x86_64
- nothing provides squashfuse needed by apptainer-1.2.4-1.x86_64
For overlayfs at least, the kernel supports rootless use of the kernel-side overlayfs
which us MUCH preferable (and faster) than the fuse variant. Apptainer hasn't been updated to take advantage of this yet ? From a quick google it seems like it does but the Fedora package still has a dependency on fuse-overlayfs
.. ugh.
Isn't the reason that fuse-overlayfs is used because it handles the processing of AUFS .wh. whiteout file and opaque directory encoding? The in-kernel overlayfs does not.
What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.
Is this an update to existing package or new package request?
This is a new package request.
Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify.
I believe these packages are available in official EPEL, but not EPEL for Amazon Linux 2.
Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)
These packages are used by Apptainer (previously known as Singularity), which is a very common container solution for HPC applications. These missing packages prevents us from using Amazon Linux for HPC workloads.
