singularity?

[psteinb]

just wondering, I just tested the openjdk-7 docker image with singularity and it doesn't work. :( however, if I port the respective dockerfile from this repo to Singularity lingo and build a container, I can fiji with GUI without tempering with DISPLAY and artificially created users. Would anyone be interested in that file?

@psteinb Cool! Would you care to contribute a PR here? Or do you think a separate repo would be more appropriate? I know next to nothing about singularity.

[psteinb]

singularity is a project to bring containers in the High Performance Computing (HPC) world - it's currently restricted to use under Linux. It is based on a somewhat different approach than docker. See a nice condensed discussion here.

So for you guys, the question is, if you want to make fiji/imagej{1,2} and their deps available on HPC clusters more easily. Let me know where to send the PR if needed.

Sorry I dropped the ball on replying to this.

Did you end up making anything? Seems like a separate repository is in order, no? If you did make one: happy to move it to the fiji org, and add you as maintainer. Up to you @psteinb whether you have the bandwidth for that.
