Version of Singularity:

Expected behavior

Specify a digest to build a specific docker image into singularity image.

Actual behavior

Error message and failure.

@EvanTheB

The digest you are using appears to be for the stretch tag. Did you try using that tag?

[EvanTheB]

evaben@evaben /tmp> singularity build tmp docker-daemon://debian:latest

evaben@evaben /tmp> singularity build tmp docker-daemon://debian:stretch
INFO:    Starting build...

evaben@evaben /tmp> docker images debian

To me it looks like the parsing of the reference format is what is failing. Perhaps my sytax is wrong. The manual states:

From: <registry>/<namespace>/<container>:<tag>@<digest>

But provides no example of use.

docker://debian:stretch@2d337f242f07

Seems to match the format to me, but it does not work. What is the correct format?

[jscook2345]

Here is what I see in the docs as a means of example. But it appears you're using something similar there from your last comment.

https://sylabs.io/guides/3.3/user-guide/singularity_and_docker.html?highlight=docker%20daemon#locally-available-images-cached-by-docker

@ikaneshiro Can you confirm digest works as expected here?

[dtrudg]

Noting here that I believe the correct format is to get the full digest via...

docker image inspect alpine --format '{{.RepoDigests}}'
[alpine@sha256:72c42ed48c3a2db31b7dafe17d275b634664a708d901ec9fd57b1529280f01fb]

And then pull it like so.... but this is erroring...

@EvanTheB Also noting that you can pull from a docker registry via a full digest like so:

$ singularity build test.sif docker://ubuntu@sha256:ca013ac5c09f9a9f6db8370c1b759a29fe997d64d6591e9a75b71748858f7da0

@dctrud Unsure why this doesn't work for the docker daemon. Looking into why.

Hello,

This is a templated response that is being sent out to all open issues. We are working hard on 'rebuilding' the Singularity community, and a major task on the agenda is finding out what issues are still outstanding.

Please consider the following:

1. Is this issue a duplicate, or has it been fixed/implemented since being added?
2. Is the issue still relevant to the current state of Singularity's functionality?
3. Would you like to continue discussing this issue or feature request?

Thanks, Carter

@EvanTheB Still getting this problem ? Have this been solved already ? If yes, what work around have you followed and applied ?

We're looking into the issue carefully, soon will bring to community and discuss ways to better solve as well address this. Thankyou for keeping the interest in the subject.

Singularity repo is now retired as the code base is now moved to Apptainer. We are closing all the old issues under the old Singularity repo. For further assistance please open a new issue under the new Apptainer repo. Thanks for your support.
