Flint Containers

This be yer compass me-hearties. Find yer way about the seas when sailing with flint!

What is this?

Build scripts for containers to use with the flint pipeline.

Where are the cotainers?

Each container is built and pushed to the Github Container Registry. The containers for each application are published as separated packages under the flint-crew GitHub page.

We previously published to DockerHub, these are no longer updated.

Each application is available under its name with a tag attached from the latest release or git hash from this repository. See the packages to get the correct name and tag for your usage.

To get a container you can run

# for docker
docker pull ghcr.io/flint-crew/{application}:{tag}

or

# for singularity / apptainer
singularity pull docker://ghcr.io/flint-crew/{application}:{tag}
