This contains slides for a short talk on singularity. See also the tutorial for HPC users at https://hpc.research.uts.edu.au/software_general/apptainer/

Files

• singularity_slides.html - The HTML tutorial as "Reveal" slides. I'm using Markdown within the slides.
• singularity_slides.css - CSS to overide reveal.js/css/ styles.
• centos7.def - An example Singularity recipe

Reveal.js Framework

I am using the reveal.js HTML presentation framework, a demo of which can be seen at its homepage https://revealjs.com. To use this you need to clone its GIT repo into a local directory as its not included in this repo. Be in the same directory as this README.md and do:

$ git clone https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js.git

This will have created the directory reveal.js. The links in the singularity_slides.html file reference files in this directory.

Creating a PDF of these Slides

Does not work well:

The Javascript library decktape needs to be installed first. See below. After that just make sure your in the singularity_talk directory and do this:

$ `npm bin`/decktape reveal http://localhost/~mlake/singularity_talk/singularity_slides.html test.pdf

This works OK:

Use Google Chrome! Go to: http://localhost/~mlake/singularity_talk/singularity_slides.html?print-pdf Use Print / Save

Install Required Javascript Libs

Install node.js

$ cd reveal.js
reveal.js/$ npm install
Downloading binary from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.7.2/linux-x64-48_binding.node
Caching binary to /home/mlake/.npm/node-sass/4.7.2/linux-x64-48_binding.node
....

Install decktape for Creating PDFs:

singularity_talk/$ npm install decktape
singularity_talk/$ `npm bin`/decktape

Install highlight.js for syntax highlighting:

singularity_talk/$ npm install highlight.js
