I am wondering if we could directly generate Singularity containers as
we do with Docker today. There are converters like

https://github.com/singularityhub/docker2singularity

The reason is that HPC is increasingly allowing Singularity and if we
can write a nice BLOG about that it would attract attention. Writing
containers with Guix is so much nicer than with Ubuntu or similar as a
base-line. And more secure and light-weight too.

I am not using Singularity so maybe I miss a point. But

  guix pack -f squashfs

does not do the right job?


All the best,

It does, that works with Singularity 2.x and 3.x.
