What has been attempted : The Nvidia implementation comes with a Dockerfile, so I attempted to convert converted this to an apptainer def file to build with apptainer on hydro using spython. This does not appear to work due to the dockerfile's use of multiple spython. Building the def file with apptainer to a sif image though encounters an issue, "ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'" which doesn't make sense to me as its in the directory and is copied over before the install command is run in the dockerfile and def. If somebody with some experience with docker/apptainer could look at this that would be useful.
Blocking Problem : The conversion of Nvidia's dockerfile fails when trying to build the converted apptatiner def file with apptainerBlocking Problem : Nvidia's Dockerfile either is not a valid file or does not appear to convertible to an apptainer def file.
