💖 apptainer(1) — the apptainer-config-global page 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

apptainer-config-global — Edit apptainer.conf from command line (root user only or unprivileged installation).

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

apptainer config global   [value,...]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the config global command is literally the admin-coded one: it lets administrators set/unset/get/reset configuration directives of apptainer.conf straight from the command line. it’s giving “I manage this installation” energy, and honestly? slay.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

here’s the whole flag squad, bestie — no skips, no cap:

• -d, --dry-run[=false] — dumps the resulting configuration on stdout but doesn’t write it to apptainer.conf.
• -g, --get[=false] — gets the value of the configuration directive.
• -h, --help[=false] — shows help for global.
• -r, --reset[=false] — resets the configuration directive value to its default value.
• -s, --set[=false] — sets the value of the configuration directive (for multi-value directives, it will add it).
• -u, --unset[=false] — unsets the value of the configuration directive (for multi-value directives, it will remove matching values).

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

copy-paste era, bestie:

1. To add a path to "bind path" directive:

$ apptainer config global --set "bind path" /etc/resolv.conf

2. To remove a path from "bind path" directive:

$ apptainer config global --unset "bind path" /etc/resolv.conf

3. To set "bind path" to the default value:

$ apptainer config global --reset "bind path"

4. To get "bind path" directive value:

$ apptainer config global --get "bind path"

5. To display the resulting configuration instead of writing it to file:

$ apptainer config global --dry-run --set "bind path" /etc/resolv.conf
