External Email - Use Caution
Dear FreeSurfer team,
We need a Singularity/Apptainer image for the latest stable version of FreeSurfer to be run on RHEL 8 HPC.
We would like to work with a Singularity/Apptainer image for FreeSurfer 8.2.0. We will be running it on the institutional machine at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The operating system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 (Ootpa).
Given that the Apptainer image for FreeSurfer 8.2.0 does not appear to be available online, could you please let us know how long it would take to create one?
We have a grant deadline in 45 days, and having this image available would significantly help us meet that deadline.
Thank you for your guidance.
Best regards, Nooshin

This recipe works for me,
Bootstrap: docker From: rockylinux:8 %files /tmp/containers/fs_license.txt /opt/ /tmp/containers/freesurfer-Rocky8-8.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm /opt/ /tmp/containers/fs820_updates.sh /opt/ %post yum -y upgrade dnf yum -y upgrade rpm yum -y install unzip findutils libgomp wget yum -y --nogpgcheck localinstall /opt/freesurfer-Rocky8-8.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm mv /opt/fs_license.txt /usr/local/freesurfer/8.2.0-1/.license mkdir /subjects FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer/8.2.0-1 bash /opt/fs820_updates.sh %environment export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer/8.2.0-1 source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh export FS_LICENSE=$FREESURFER_HOME/.license export SUBJECTS_DIR=/subjects
and then,
$ singularity build freesurfer82.sif myrecipe.singularity
good luck
