~/.XAuthority and singularity #62

Closed katakombi closed 4 years ago

If the singularity run engine is being used file binds are not possible - just directory binds. It is not advisable to bind $HOME but if we don't bind ~/.XAuthority and the Xorg server of the linux system depends on it graphical applications won't work in dolmades.

container engines P1, P2: no problem binding ~/.XAuthority
container engine singularity: TODO find a way to bind ~/.XAuthority maybe by using a hard link?

Recent singularity supports file binds. Check on singularity 3.x.x

[x] Can this be done with singularity 2.x as well?
[x] Can udocker code be changed to support file binds? Preferably to solve within dolmades
[ ] dolmades setup --mode=S1: create/delete ~/.Xauthority within container

Removed S1 from auto detection. The caused issues have no real impact as of now!
