| Name: | Basil |
| Description: | Basil can semi-automatically create Docker and Singularity images of a given software using the high-level information provided by the users. The users provide the source code and instructions to compile the code in a prescribed format as input to Basil. The output from Basil can be a Docker or Singularity image of the input source code along with the relevant README files and other related documents. The generated Docker or Singularity images can be uploaded to Docker Hub or Singularity Image Library, and can then be pulled to run on any system that has Docker or Singularity installed. |
