Container Tools

Welcome to the container tools portal!

What is a Linux Container?

A container image is an encapsulated, portalable environment that is created to distribute a scientific analysis or a general function. Containers help with reproducibility of such content as they nicely package software and data dependencies, along with libraries that are needed.

What are the goals of Container Tools?

These are open source tools for scientific containers. The tools are designed with the primary
goal to serve the scientific community. Since Singularity is
a container technology that is friendly for shared computational resources common in the scientific community,
the majority of our tools use it.
