SSH into the server and run,

cd ~/singularity_images
singularity instance start --nv \
                            --contain \
                            --home $HOME \
                            --bind ~/Projects/Python:/projects \
                            --bind /data:/data \
                            tf2.sif \
                            tf2

Change the arguments appropriately:

  • tf2.sif: Singularity Image file location
  • tf2: Instance Name
  • --bind directory_in_host:location_inside_container: The directory ~/Projects/Python present on the host machine will be mapped to /projects inside the singularity image.
  • You can add may --binds to bind more directories on the host to the container.
  • --home directory_in_host: Special bind command maps the directory to ~ inside the singularity image.

To stop and unmount a single instance, or to stop and unmount all instances, use

singularity instance stop instance://tf2
singularity instance stop -a

For more details, see singularity docs.
