apptainer

Install Apptainer for HPC containerization

Install Apptainer, a container system widely used in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.

Example Usage

{
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/MiguelRodo/DevContainerFeatures/apptainer:1": {
      "timezone": "UTC"
    }
  }
}

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
timezone	string	"UTC"	Timezone to configure in the container (e.g., "UTC", "Europe/London", "America/New_York"). Required for proper Apptainer mount behavior.

Notes

• Adds the ppa:apptainer/ppa repository and installs Apptainer from it.
• Configures tzdata because Apptainer containers often inherit the host’s /etc/localtime.
