Permission issues while running the Singularity container about crisprcasfinder HOT 4 OPEN

Yes, that is exactly the image I am trying to use.

It turned out that my original problem was because I did not supply the Singularity image with a bind-path to my home-folder on the cluster. However, the behaviour that CRISPRCasFinder will change to the home-directory to run, and only later copies file to the specified output folder, still causes some trouble (since there are size constraints on my home directory, which is not the case for the scratch directory where I would like to put the output). Is there any way to stop CRISPRCasFinder from creating files under my home directory?

Dear @JSHuisman , sorry for the delayed response, we are looking at this issue. We hope that the problem will be fixed for the next release.
I will let you know.

Dear @JSHuisman
Thank you for your message.
Sorry, I have not yet seen this error before.
Have you tried this Singularity hub : https://singularity-hub.org/collections/1625 ?
Maybe @bneron could provide better explanations about this Singularity error.

This is a fairly old issue, but I am leaving a response just in case. It seems CRISPRCasFinder uses the current directory as a temporary directory and I have found that in some cases singularity does not mount the current directory (symbolic links might cause problems). In that case, the user's home directory becomes the current directory inside singularity and CRISPRCasFinder create temporary files there. If you can mount a directory with more space and cd there, you can avoid having files created in your home directory.
