config udocker output is not working

[Wanli-HE]

HI!

the default ouput of udcoker is in ".udocker", so i am trying to config it to other folder, but it seems not works, i intall udocker by pip, and copy the udocker.conf to the folder ".udocker", and config it like blow, """[DEFAULT]

Verbosity level according to udocker Msg

verbose_level = 3

topdir = "/home/projects/udocker/" bindir = "/home/projects/udocker/bin" libdir = "/home/projects/udocker/lib" reposdir = "/home/projects/udocker/reposdir" layersdir = "/home/projects/udocker/layersdir" containersdir = "/home/projects/udocker/containersdir"

dockerio_index_url = https://hub.docker.com dockerio_registry_url = https://registry-1.docker.io

tarball_release = 1.2.8

tarball =

tmpdir = /tmp keystore = keystore

use_curl_exec =

default_execution_mode = P1

http_proxy =

"""

but actually the images were not download in the aims folder, and also not in ",udocker" folder,

di you have any suggestion on that?

best, wanli

Please remove the quotes as below or use the environment variables like UDOCKER_DIR

topdir = /home/projects/udocker/ bindir = /home/projects/udocker/bin libdir = /home/projects/udocker/lib reposdir = /home/projects/udocker/reposdir layersdir = /home/projects/udocker/layersdir containersdir = /home/projects/udocker/containersdir

besides @jorge-lip comment above if you have your udocker.conf file in /home/projects/udocker.conf you should invoke udocker the following way to use the conf file

udocker --config=/home/projects/udocker.conf
