gifgen

gifgen provides simple high quality GIF encoding.

Source code

You can find the recipe to build the container here.

Building the image locally

The script build.sh looks like

#!/bin/bash

IMAGE=singularity-gifgen.simg
DEFINITION=Singularity

if [ -f $IMAGE ]; then
	rm -fv $IMAGE
fi

sudo singularity build $IMAGE $DEFINITION

To build the image locally simply run

bash ./build.sh

Building the image remotely

The script rbuild.sh looks like

#!/bin/bash

IMAGE=singularity-gifgen.simg
DEFINITION=Singularity

if [ -f $IMAGE ]; then
	rm -fv $IMAGE
fi

singularity build --remote $IMAGE $DEFINITION

If you notice, there isn’t much difference between this script and the previous script.

To build the image remotely simply run

bash ./rbuild.sh

Running gifgen

To run the app in the container, simply run

singularity exec singularity-gifgen.simg gifgen
