Installation
curl -Lo ./sind https://github.com/GSI-HPC/sind/releases/latest/download/sind-linux-amd64
chmod +x ./sind
sudo mv ./sind /usr/local/bin/sind
Build and install with Go:
go install github.com/GSI-HPC/sind/cmd/sind@latest
Check that sind is installed and your system meets all prerequisites:
sind doctor
This verifies Docker Engine version and cgroup configuration, and prints fix instructions if anything is missing.
sind requires a container image with systemd, munge, sshd, and Slurm installed. The default image is:
ghcr.io/gsi-hpc/sind-node:latest
Docker pulls the image automatically when creating your first cluster. Subsequent creates reuse the cached image — use --pull to force a fresh pull:
sind create cluster --pull
See Container Images for details on building custom images.
