I’m also interested in this topic. I help to maintain a bioinformatics tool called ‘MentaLiST’ that is written in Julia:

I’ve also struggled to build Docker and/or Singularity images for similar reasons.
This is where I’m at so far but I’m also getting some permissions errors when attempting to run the image.
