Alternatively, one can create an Apptainer image with a chosen version of Julia and a selection of packages, and JULIA_DEPOT_PATH redirected inside the container. This does mean that you lose the advantage of our optimized Julia modules. However, your container now contains the potentially very large set of small files inside 1 container file (.sif), potentially improving IO performance. Reproducibility is also improved, the container will run anywhere as-is. Another use case is if you want to test Julia nightly builds without altering your local Julia installation, or when you need to bundle your own specific dependencies, because the container creation gives you complete control at creation.
