Using Singularity
*****************

[Singularity](https://sylabs.io/) is another container platform able to run Docker images. Singularity can be run both on local machins and in instances where the user does not have root access. Instances where a user may not have root privlidges include HPC clusters and cloud cluster resources.

A container is a single file without anything else to install.

Downloading image
=================
Singularity can use ODM Docker container after their download. It creates .sif images
Build Singularity image from Docker image
=========================================
Singularity can use Docker image to build SIF image.

For latest ODM Docker image (Recommended)
For latest ODM Docker image (Recommended) :

.. code:: bash
singularity pull --disable-cache docker://opendronemap/odm:latest
For latest ODM GPU Docker image
singularity build --disable-cache -f odm_latest.sif docker://opendronemap/odm:latest
For latest ODM GPU Docker image :

.. code:: bash
singularity pull --disable-cache docker://opendronemap/odm:gpu
singularity build --disable-cache -f odm_gpu.sif docker://opendronemap/odm:gpu
Using Singularity SIF image
===========================

Once you have used one of the above commands to download and create the `odm_latest.sif` image, it can be ran using singularity.
Place your images in a directory named “images” (for example /my/project/images) , then simply run

..code:: bash
Once you have used one of the above commands to download and create the `odm_latest.sif` image, it can be ran using singularity.
Place your images in a directory named “images” (for example /my/project/images) , then simply run :

.. code:: bash
singularity run --bind /my/project:datasets/code odm_latest.sif --project-path /datasets
singularity run --bind /my/project:/datasets/code odm_latest.sif --project-path /datasets
Like with docker, additional `Options and Flags <https://docs.opendronemap.org/arguments/>`_ can be added to the command :

.. code:: bash
Like with docker, additional Options and Flags can be added to the command.
singularity run --bind /my/project:/datasets/code \
--writable-tmpfs odm_latest.sif \
--orthophoto-png --mesh-octree-depth 12 --ignore-gsd --dtm \
--smrf-threshold 0.4 --smrf-window 24 --dsm --pc-csv --pc-las --orthophoto-kmz \
--ignore-gsd --matcher-type flann --feature-quality ultra --max-concurrency 16 \
--use-hybrid-bundle-adjustment --build-overviews --time --min-num-features 10000 \
