Manage apptainer remote endpoints

Synopsis

The ‘remote’ command allows you to manage Apptainer remote endpoints through its subcommands.

A ‘remote endpoint’ is a group of services that is compatible with the container library API. The remote endpoint is a single address, e.g. ‘cloud.example.com’ through which library and/or keystore services will be automatically discovered.

To configure a remote endpoint you must ‘remote add’ it. You can ‘remote login’ if you will be performing actions needing authentication. Switch between configured remote endpoints with the ‘remote use’ command. The active remote endpoint will be used for key operations, and ‘library://’ pull and push. You can also ‘remote logout’ from and ‘remote remove’ an endpoint that is no longer required.

The remote configuration is stored in $HOME/.apptainer/remotes.yaml by default.

Examples

All group commands have their own help output:

  $ apptainer help remote list
  $ apptainer remote list

Options

-c, --config string   path to the file holding remote endpoint configurations (default "/home/runner/.apptainer/remote.yaml")
-h, --help            help for remote
