Ubuntu – How to turn a singularity sandbox container into a sif file ? (while preserving the sandbox)

I have built a Singularity sandbox container using this command:

sudo singularity build --sandbox ubuntu/ library://ubuntu

Now, I would like to copy/export this container as a sif file. But I cannot find how to do this in the documentation.

Any idea ?

    Ok, so by reading the doc more carefully, it's apparently not possible to keep the changes made on a sandbox into a sif file, see here

    sudo singularity build ubuntu.sif ubuntu/
