  singularity exec docker://ghcr.io/easybuilders/ubuntu-20.04 bash -c "cat /etc/debian_version; cat /etc/os-release"
  

Build custom container images

You can build a custom container image on top of one of the provided container images.

For example, to build a CentOS 7.9 container that also includes the openssl11* packages using Singularity:

$ cat CentOS-7.9-openssl11.def
Bootstrap: docker
From: ghcr.io/easybuilders/centos-7.9
%post
    yum -y install openssl11 openssl11-devel

$ sudo singularity build CentOS-7.9-openssl11.sif CentOS-7.9-openssl11.def
