Singularity image for bioconductor 3.20

[reshu23]

Dear Team,
I work on offline cluster. Best option for me to use bioconductor packages is to download singularity image of collection of bioconductor package and transfer it to my offline cluster. Docker is not supported on cluster. I can see, according to instructions, you mentioned:
You can find the Singularity containers collection on this link https://singularity-hub.org/collections/3955.

On this link, singularity container was updated in the year 2021. Can you please suggest me, where can I download singularity image for latest release of bioconductor collection?
Thank you.

Hey @reshu23, thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we have not built Singularity images in a while, as the person who started that project has since left the team, and we have not seen consistent demand for singularity images so far, nor do we have a good way for us to test images in a restricted environment.
Things are a bit busy right now, but I can try to allocate some effort to get the Singularity build stack working in early 2025, especially if you are willing to test the images produced to make sure they are working as expected in a more restricted HPC environment like yours.

@reshu23 It should be possible for you to build a singularity container in your system, based on the public dockerfiles. I have done this some years ago. I will try to reconstruct the activities and will post, probably next week.

Thank you very much. It will be really helpful. I am willing to test singularity images on my secure system, once it is available.
