-: Enable `writeFake` with charliecloud (default). This enables running containers from storage in writeable mode using overlayfs, see [charliecloud documentation](https://hpc.github.io/charliecloud/ch-run.html#ch-run-overlay) for details. Using this is recommended, given that the kernel supports it. If this option is enabled. `$CH_IMAGE_STORAGE` will be used as the preferred image storage directory.

 `charliecloud.cacheDir`
 : The directory where remote Charliecloud images are stored. If `writeFake` is disabled, this _must_ be different from `$CH_IMAGE_STORAGE`. When using a computing cluster it must be a shared folder accessible to all compute nodes. If `charliecloud.cacheDir` is not set, nextflow will use `$NXF_CHARLIECLOUD_CACHE` (if set) or fall back to `work/charliecloud`.
