That's very helpful! One more question if you don't mind. In Lionel Henry's 
solution, he changes ess-customize-alist to map inferior-ess-r-program to the 
shell script that starts the container. If you have individual shell scripts in 
each analysis directory, I assume you are not doing that? Or do I misunderstand 
how ess-r-customize-alist works?

defun R-docker ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((ess-r-customize-alist
         (append ess-r-customize-alist
                 '((inferior-ess-r-program . <shell script location goes 
here>))))
                 (ess-R-readline t))
                 (R)))  

Thanks so much,

Jim

Subject: Re: [ESS] Emacs/ESS using Singularity container

I'm running ESS in similar HPC circumstances, and have adopted a similar 
solution to the one in Lionel Henry's post.  I tend to keep a shell script 
along the lines of the following in every project, and it works 'fine'. It's 
singularity, but I think apptainer is equivalent.  Just in case it helps.



```
pwd=$(realpath ${PWD})
project_root=$(realpath $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel || echo ${pwd)) 
extra=--bind 
$HOME/.Xauthority,$HOME/.Xdefaults,$HOME/.Xresources,$HOME/.emacs.d,$HOME/.ssh 
--env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY # in real life, $extra is defined in elsewhere and is 
only used in interactive sessions, not in e.g. makefiles.
cmd=R
image=bioconductor_docker_3.18-R-4.3.2.sif
singularity exec --bind ${project_root},/tmp --pwd ${pwd} --containall 
--cleanenv  --env 
SQLITE_TMPDIR=/tmp,BIOCPARALLEL_WORKER_NUMBER=2,GITHUB_PAT=${GITHUB_PAT} 
${extra} ${image} ${cmd} $@ ``` The Francis Crick Institute Limited is a 
registered charity in England and Wales no. 1140062 and a company registered in 
England and Wales no. 06885462, with its registered office at 1 Midland Road 
London NW1 1AT
