Change local storage location #423

Closed iferres closed 1 year ago

iferres commented 1 year ago

Hi, I had to change some configuration in my desktop and my /export/home/iferres/.singularity dir is now located at /home/iferres/.singularity. Now sregistry isn't able to reach the images (although they are there). How can I change the path sregistry is looking for the image files? Thanks!

Hey @iferres! First, moving this issue to sregistry (let me know if this is not correct - you seem to be asking about singularity registry server and not the client!)

So the images directory (that the registry sees) is a volume mount - it defaults to ./images on your local machine in the docker compose so that's the line you should change if your images directory changes. That says I'm not sure why changing that location of the singularity cache would change the behavior, so maybe you were interested in the client. Either way - I can try to help! Can you give me a more concrete example of an error / what you are trying to do?

Ops, sorry for the late response (I was out some days and then I forgot about this) and thank you very much. I have a conda installation of sregistry. I can't have docker running on my machine (employer policy). Is there any script where I can change this path?

vsoch commented 1 year ago

Can you clarify if you are using sregistry-cli or sregistry server or singularity-cli?

iferres commented 1 year ago

Yep, the server. I have just make it work. I just deleted (sregistry rm) old images and pulled them again and now it works. Feel free to close this. Thank you!!

vsoch commented 1 year ago

So wait - you are using sregistry server without docker? Do I understand that correctly?

Definitely feel free to close it if you don't need help anymore - sorry for my confusion!

Genious! I'm actually not sure what I have installed. I assume it was the server given what you said before, but I probably was mistaken. It's installed on my local machine and only use the CLI. Got it running years ago, I don't quite remember 😅 . I imagine that those env variables will be useful to others or my future self, so thanks!
