⁠Description

Docker and Apptainer/Singularity containers for R projects based on the Rocker Project⁠.

⁠GitHub Actions

The Docker and Apptainer Build and Push GitHub actions workflow performs the following:

• Builds the Docker image specified by the Dockerfile.
• Pushes the image to DockerHub⁠ using the tags latest and date and time of build (YEAR-MM-DD-HHMMSSMS).
• Builds the Singularity Image File (SIF) using Apptainer based on the Docker Hub image from the previous step.
• Creates a GitHub release named sif-YEAR-MM-DD-HHMMSSMS. Note that sif-YEAR-MM-DD-HHMMSSMS.zip contains the SIF.
