**Damona** is a conda-style package and environment manager built on top of
`Apptainer/Singularity <https://apptainer.org>`_ containers. It lets you
install bioinformatics (and other) tools as isolated containers, manage
multiple versions side-by-side, and run them **exactly like any other
command-line tool** — with no dependency conflicts and no root privileges
required.

Think of Damona as *conda for Singularity images*: the same familiar
``create / activate / install`` workflow you already know, but with the
rock-solid isolation and reproducibility that containers provide.

.. note::  As of Mar. 2026, **Damona** ships 130 containers (197 versions),
           providing **784 unique ready-to-use binaries**.



Why Damona?
===========

Managing scientific software is notoriously painful:

- Conda environments break when incompatible packages are installed together.
- Raw Singularity/Apptainer requires verbose ``singularity exec`` invocations
  and manual management of image files.
- Docker is unavailable or restricted on most HPC clusters.

**Damona solves all three problems at once:**

+----------------------------------------------+-------+-------+--------+

Key strengths at a glance
--------------------------

* **One command to install** — ``damona install bwa`` downloads the container
  *and* creates a wrapper script so that ``bwa`` just works in your shell.
* **Zero dependency conflicts** — every tool runs inside its own container,
  completely isolated from everything else on the system.
* **No root, no Docker** — Apptainer/Singularity runs fully unprivileged,
  making Damona ideal for shared HPC clusters where Docker is not available.
* **Multiple versions, one system** — need BWA 0.7.17 in one pipeline and
  BWA 0.7.18 in another? Create two Damona environments and switch instantly.
* **Images are shared** — re-installing a tool in a second environment reuses
  the already-downloaded image, saving disk space and time.
* **Reproducible by design** — pin exact versions in an environment file and
  export/import it to reproduce results anywhere.
* **Custom registries** — host your own registry to distribute in-house
  containers to your team, just like a private conda channel.


Installation
============

**Step 1 — Install Apptainer**

Damona is a manager for Apptainer/Singularity images, so Apptainer must be
present on your system first. Follow the official
`Apptainer installation guide <https://apptainer.org/docs/admin/main/installation.html>`_,
or — if you already use conda — install it with::

    conda install -c conda-forge apptainer

**Step 2 — Install Damona**

::

    pip install damona

**Step 3 — Initialise Damona**

Run ``damona`` once to create the configuration directory and shell helpers::

    damona

Follow the on-screen instructions. To make the shell integration permanent,
add **one** of the following lines to your shell start-up file:

*bash* — add to ``~/.bashrc``::

    source ~/.config/damona/damona.sh

*zsh* — add to ``~/.zshrc``::

    source ~/.config/damona/damona.zsh

*fish* — add to ``~/.config/fish/config.fish``::

    source ~/.config/damona/damona.fish

Then **open a new shell** and run ``damona`` again. You should see the help
screen:

.. image::  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cokelaer/damona/refs/heads/main/doc/_static/cli.png

Quick Start
===========

The full workflow takes under a minute:

.. code-block:: bash

    # 1. Create a named environment
    damona create TEST

    # 2. Activate it (installed tools go here)
    damona activate TEST

    # 3. Install a tool — container + wrapper created automatically
    damona install fastqc:0.11.9

    # 4. Use it just like any other command
    fastqc --help

    # 5. Rename or remove the environment when you're done
    damona rename TEST --new-name prod
    damona remove prod

For more examples see the `User Guide <https://damona.readthedocs.io>`_.

Example without conda (pyenv + minimap2)
-----------------------------------------

If you manage Python with `pyenv <https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv>`_ instead of
conda, the workflow is identical — Damona only requires Python ≥ 3.9 and
Apptainer.

.. code-block:: bash

    # --- Prerequisites ---------------------------------------------------
    # 1. Install Apptainer (once, system-wide or via your package manager).
    #    On Debian/Ubuntu:
    sudo apt-get install -y apptainer
    #    Or follow https://apptainer.org/docs/admin/main/installation.html

    # --- Python environment ----------------------------------------------
    # 2. Create and activate a pyenv virtualenv with Python 3.10
    pyenv install 3.10.14          # skip if already installed
    pyenv virtualenv 3.10.14 damona-env
    pyenv activate damona-env

    # 3. Install Damona
    pip install damona

    # --- First-time initialisation ---------------------------------------
    # 4. Run once to create the configuration directory and shell helpers
    damona

    # 5. Add the shell integration to your start-up file (bash example):
    echo 'source ~/.config/damona/damona.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc

    # --- Install minimap2 ------------------------------------------------
    # 6. Create and activate a Damona environment
    damona create my-env
    damona activate my-env

    # 7. Install minimap2 — the container is downloaded automatically
    damona install minimap2:2.24.0

    # 8. Use it like any other command
    minimap2 --version

Motivation
==========

`Conda/Bioconda <https://bioconda.github.io>`_ is excellent for distributing
pre-compiled scientific software, but dependency conflicts are a real-world
problem: installing one package can silently break another, and rebuilding
environments is time-consuming.

`Singularity/Apptainer <https://apptainer.org>`_ solves the isolation problem
perfectly — each image is self-contained and reproducible — but using it
directly requires verbose ``singularity exec`` commands and manual bookkeeping
of image files and wrapper scripts.

**Damona bridges the gap**: it wraps Singularity images in the familiar
conda-style environment model so that containers are as easy to install,
activate, and use as conda packages, while retaining full container isolation
and reproducibility.

Damona was originally developed for the
`Sequana project <https://sequana.readthedocs.io>`_, but it is completely
general-purpose and can be used to distribute any Singularity-compatible
software.


Commands (Full CLI Reference)
=============================

Run ``damona --help`` to see all available commands::

    Environment management:
      create      Create a new environment
      remove      Remove an environment and all its binaries.

For command-specific help (e.g. ``install``)::

    damona install --help


1. List available environments
-------------------------------

By default there is one environment called **base**. Unlike conda's **base**,
it is not essential and may be altered freely (but it cannot be removed or
re-created). List all environments with::

    damona env

2. Create environments
-----------------------

All environments are stored in *~/.config/damona/envs/*. Create a new one::

    damona create TEST

Verify it was created::

    damona env

The last line should confirm that **TEST** is the current environment.

3. Activate and deactivate environments
----------------------------------------

Activating an environment appends its *bin* directory to your ``$PATH``::

    damona activate TEST
    damona env        # confirms TEST is active

Deactivating removes it from ``$PATH``::

    damona deactivate TEST

Multiple environments can be active simultaneously; they follow a
Last-In-First-Out order when deactivated without a name::

    damona activate base
    damona activate TEST
    damona deactivate           # removes TEST (last activated)
    damona deactivate base      # removes base by name

4. Install a tool
------------------

With the target environment active, install any available package::

    damona install fastqc:0.11.9

Damona downloads the Singularity image, registers it in
*~/.config/damona/images* (shared by all environments), and creates a
wrapper script so that ``fastqc`` is available as a plain command.

5. Inspect an environment
--------------------------

List the binaries installed in an environment together with the underlying
images::

    damona info TEST

6. Search the registry
-----------------------

Search for available packages::

    damona search PATTERN

Search an external registry (e.g. the official Damona registry)::

    damona search fastqc --url damona

The ``damona`` URL alias is pre-configured in
*~/.config/damona/damona.cfg*. You can add your own registry URLs there to
distribute in-house containers.

7. Combine multiple environments
----------------------------------

Images are shared across environments, so re-using an already-downloaded
image in a new environment is instant and costs no extra disk space::

    damona create test1
    damona activate test1
    damona install fastqc:0.11.9   # reuses the cached image

Activate several environments at once to mix tool sets::

    damona activate base
    damona activate test1

For more details see the `User Guide <https://damona.readthedocs.io>`_ and
the `Developer Guide <https://damona.readthedocs.io>`_.
