        Overview
        ========
        
        Damona is a singularity environment manager.
        
        Damona started as a small collections of singularity recipes to help installing third-party tools for
        `Sequana NGS pipelines <https://sequana.readthedocs.io>`_.
        
        Damona is now used in production to create reproducible environments where singularity images and their associated binaries are installed altogether.
        
        In a nutshell, Damona combines the logic of Conda environments with the
        reproducibility of singularity containers. We believe that it could be useful for
        other projects and therefore decided to release it as an independent tool.
        
        As of 30th Dec 2021, **Damona** contains 26 software, 38 releases, 105 binaries.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        If you are in a hurry, just type::
        
            pip install damona --upgrade
        
        You must install `Singularity <https://sylabs.io/docs>`_ to make use of **Damona**. 
        
        If you are familiar with conda, I believe you can do::
        
            conda install singularity
        
        Type **damona** in a shell. This will initiate the tool with a config file in your HOME/.config/damona directory for bash shell and `fish shell <https://fishshell.com/>`_ users.
        
        Bash users should add this code in their ~/.bashrc file::
        
            source ~/.config/damona/damona.sh
        
        and fishshell users should add the following code in their ~/.config/fish/config.fish file::
        
            source ~/.config/damona/damona.fish
        
        Open a new shell and you are ready to go. Please see the `Installation in details`_ section for more information.
        
        Quick Start
        ===========
        
        **Damona** needs environments to work with.
        First, let us *create* one, which is called TEST::
        
            damona env --create TEST
        
        Second, we need to *activate* it. Subsequent insallation will happen in this environment::
        
            damona activate TEST
        
        From there, we can install some binaries/images::
        
            damona install fastqc:0.11.9
        
        That's it. Time to test. Type **fastqc**.
        
        To rename this TEST example::
        
            damona env --rename TEST --new-name prod
        
        or delete it::
        
            damona env --delete prod
        
        See more examples hereafter or in the user guide on https://damona.readthedocs.io
        
        Motivation
        ==========
        
        As stated on their website, `Conda <https:/docs.conda.io/en/latest>`_ is
        an open source **package** management system
        and **environment** management system.
        Conda provides pre-compiled releases of software; they can be installed in
        different local environments that do not interfer with your system. This has
        great advantages for developers. For example, you can install a pre-compiled
        libraries in a minute instead of trying to compile it yourself including all
        dependencies. Different communities have emerged using this
        framework. One of them is `Bioconda <https://bioconda.github.io>`_, which is dedicated to bioinformatics.
        
        Another great tool that emerged in the last years is
        `Singularity <https://sylabs.io/docs>`_. Singularity containers can be used
        to package entire scientific workflows,
        software and libraries, and even data. It is a simple file that can be shared
        between environments and guarantee exectution and reproducibility.
        
        Originally, Conda provided pre-compiled version of a software. Nowadays, it also provides
        a docker and a singularity image of the tool. On the other side, Singularity can include an
        entire conda environment. As you can see everything is there to build reproducible tools and
        environment.
        
        Now, what about a software in development that depends on third-party packages ? 
        You would create a conda environment and starts installing the required packages.
        Quickly, you will install another package that will break your environment due
        to unresolved conlicts; this is not common but it happens. In the worst case
        scenario, the environment is broken. In facilities where users depends on you,
        it can be quite stresful and time-consuming to maintain several such
        environments. This is why we have moved little by little to a very light conda
        environment where known-to-cause-problem packages have been shipped into
        singularity containers. This means we have to create aliases to those
        singularities. The singularities can be simple executable containers or full
        environment containers with many executables inside. In both cases, one need to
        manage those containers for different users, pipelines, versions etc. This
        started to be cumbersome to have containers in different places and update
        script that generate the aliases to those executables.
        
        
        That's where **damona** started: we wanted to combine the conda-like environment 
        framework to manage our singularity containers more easily.
        
        Although **Damona** was started with the `Sequana projet <https://sequana.readthedocs.io>`_,
        **Damona** may be useful for others developers who wish to have a quick and easy
        solution for their users when they need to install third-party libraries.
        
        Before showing real-case examples, let us install the software itself and 
        understand the details.
        
        
        
        Installation in details
        =======================
        
        The is the egg and chicken paradox. To get reproducible container with
        singularity, at some point you need to install singularity itself. That the first
        of the two software that you will need to install. Instructions
        are on `singularity web site <https://sylabs.io/guides/3.6/user-guide/>`_. This
        is not obvious to be honest. You need the GO language to be installed as well. I
        personally installed from source and it worked like a charm.
        
        Second, you need **Damona**. This is a pure Python sotfware with only a few
        dependencies. Install it with the **pip** software provided with your Python
        installation (Python 3.X)::
        
            pip install damona --upgrade
        
        Type **damona** to create the Damona tree structure. Images and binaries 
        will be saved in your home directory within the
        ~/.config/damona directory. There, special files should be available:
        **damona.sh**, **damona.fish**  and **damona.cfg**. Check that those files are present.
        
        Finally, you need to tell your system where to find damona. For bashrc users,
        please add this line to you bashrc file::
        
            source ~/.config/damona/damona.sh
        
        open a new shell and type **damona** and you should be ready to go.
        
        For fishshell users, please add this line in **~/.config/fish/config.fish***::
        
            source ~/.config/damona/damona.fish
        
        Tutorial
        ============
        
        The **Damona** standalone is called **damona**. It has a documentation that should suffice for most users.
        
        The main documentation is obtained using::
        
            damona --help
        
        where you will see the list of **Damona** commands (may be different with time) (may be::
        
            activate
            clean
            deactivate
            env
            export
            info
            install
            list
            remove
            search
            stats
        
        To get help for the *install* command, type::
        
            damona install --help
        
        
        1. *list* available environments
        --------------------------------
        
        By default you have an environment called **base**. Unlike the **base** environment found in **conda**, it is not
        essential and may be altered. However, it cannot be removed or created. You can check the list of environments using::
        
            damona env
        
        2. *create* environments
        ------------------------
        All environments are stored in *~/.config/damona/envs/*. You can create a new one as follows::
        
            damona env --create TEST
        
        There, you have a *bin* directory where binaries are going to be installed.
        
        You can check that it has been created::
        
            damona env
        
        Note the last line telling you that::
        
            Your current env is 'TEST'.
        
        3. activate and deactivate environments
        ----------------------------------------
        
        In order to install new binaries or software package, you must activate an environment. You may activate several but the last one is the *active* one. Let us activate the *TEST* environment::
        
            damona activate TEST
        
        Check that it is active using::
        
            damona env
        
        and look at the last line. It should look like::
        
            Your current env is 'TEST'.
        
        What is going on when you activate an environment called TEST ? Simple: we append the directory ~/.config/damona/envs/TEST/bin to your PATH where binaries are searched for. This directory is removed when you use the *deactivate* command.
        
        ::
        
            damona deactivate TEST
            damona env 
        
        should remove the TEST environment from your PATH. You may activate several and deactivate them. In such case, the
        environments behave as a Last In First Out principle::
        
            damona activate base
            damona activate TEST
            damona deactivate 
        
        Removes the last activated environments. While this set of commands is more specific::
        
            damona activate base
            damona activate TEST
            damona deactivate base
        
        and keep the TEST environment only in your PATH.
        
        4. **install** a software
        --------------------------
        
        Let us now consider that the TEST environment is active.
        
        Damona provides software that may have several releases. Each software/release comes with binaries that will be
        installed together with the underlying singularity image.::
        
            damona install fastqc:0.11.9
        
        Here, the singularity image corresponding to the release 0.11.9 of the **fastqc** software is downloaded. Then, binaries registered in this release are installed (here the **fastqc** binary only).
        
        All images are stored in *~/.config/damona/images* and are shared between environments. 
        
        
        5. Get **info** about installed images and binaries
        ----------------------------------------------------
        
        You can get the binaries installed in an environment (and the images used by
        them) using the **info** command::
        
            damona info TEST
        
        
        6. Search the registry
        ------------------------
        
        By default, we provide recipes (26 in Dec 2021 ; 38 releases) available in **Damona**. 
        They can be searched for using::
        
            damona search PATTERN
        
        External registry can be set-up. For instance, a damona registry is accessible
        as follows (for demonstration)::
        
            damona search fastqc --url damona
        
        Where *damona* is an alias defined in the .config/damona/damona.cfg that
        is set to https://biomics.pasteur.fr/drylab/damona/registry.txt
        
        You may retrieve images from a website where a registry exists (see the developer
        guide to create a registry yourself).
        
        
        7. combine two different environments
        --------------------------------------
        
        In damona, you can have sereral environments in parallel and later activate the
        one you wish to use. Let us create a new one::
        
            damone env --create test1
        
        and check that you now have one more environment::
        
            damona env
        
        We want to create an alias to the previously downloaded image of fastqc tool but
        in the *test1* environment. First we activate the newly create environment::
        
            damona activate test1
        
        then, we install the container::
        
            damona install fastqc:0.11.9
        
        This will not download the image again. It will just create a binary in the
        ~/.config/damona/envs/test1/bin directory.
        
        you can combine this new environemnt with the base one::
        
            damona activate base

        guide here below.
