This repository contains all the material needed for the i-ASK onboarding sessions. This repository contains the powerpoints, source code, and container defintion files for the sessions. Here are the main points commonly covered during the presentations:
- General tools for the i-ASK center
- Singularity
- Docker
- Anaconda
These are the biggest topics that need to be covered in the i-ASK center. There are so many great, free tools out there that can be used to help improve your workflow, and Singularity and Docker are vital tools for delivering software to users on the cluster. Anaconda is the glue that we commonly use to grab all the dependencies that we could possibly need when deploying new software for users!
-
Presentation 1: Level up your workflow!
- This presentation is to help you discover all the amazing tools that you have available to you. Whether it's an SSH client or user-level package manager, this presentation has you covered. Also, at the end I also recommend some great books that serve as a great point of reference should you forget anything.

Presentation 2: Use Singularity and Docker to build and deploy software!
- Ever had to install a lot of packages, but you just don't have the system-level dependencies available to you? Well this tutorial has you covered! Learn how to build a Singularity container from scratch! Learn how to build a Docker Container, and then covert it to a Singularity image!
