WRF / WPS image

Overview

This repository provides a Dockerfile for building WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) and WPS (WRF Preprocessing System) on an Ubuntu base. The Docker container is created using Podman and can be converted into a Singularity image by saving it as a tar using Podman.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the following installed:

• Podman
• Singularity

Building the Container

To build the Docker container, use the following command:

podman build -t wps .

Converting to a Singularity Image

After successfully building the container, you can convert it into a Singularity image by saving it as a tar file:

podman save wps -o image.tar

Once you have the tar file, you can build a Singularity image using the following command:

singularity build --fakeroot IMG.sif docker-archive://image.tar

Usage

To use the generated Singularity image, execute the following command:

singularity run IMG.sif
