Unable to pull docker image #1334

Closed cosmicbeams closed 1 year ago

cosmicbeams commented 1 year ago

Hello all,

Here is whatI receive when trying to pull this image. 

singularity pull docker://geodynamics/aspect:v2.1.0
INFO:    Converting OCI blobs to SIF format
FATAL:   While making image from oci registry: error fetching image to cache: while building SIF from layers: unable to create new build: while searching for mksquashfs: exec: "mksquashfs": executable file not found in $PATH

Apparently the image is not being downloaded. Any chance to have more verbosity ? Is there a way to set a proxy ?

Thanks

At this point, the download has happened. The error message shows the issue:

while searching for mksquashfs: exec: "mksquashfs": executable file not found in $PATH

SingularityCE converts Docker images to its own SIF format. This needs the mksquashfs program to be available on your system. You will need to install mksquashfs on the system that you are using singularity on.
