Centrifuge error - (ERR): mkfifo(/tmp/46.inpipe1) failed.

Description of the bug

I tried to run nf-core/mag with the test profile on a new compute cluster and got the following error:

-[nf-core/mag] Pipeline completed with errors-
WARN: Singularity cache directory has not been defined -- Remote image will be stored in the path: /mnt/lustre/groups/nahnsen/nahkr648/test/work/singularity -- Use the environment variable NXF_SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR to specify a different location
ERROR ~ Error executing process > 'NFCORE_MAG:MAG:CENTRIFUGE (test_minigut-minigut_cf)'

Caused by:
  Process `NFCORE_MAG:MAG:CENTRIFUGE (test_minigut-minigut_cf)` terminated with an error exit status (17)

Tip: view the complete command output by changing to the process work dir and entering the command `cat .command.out`

 -- Check '.nextflow.log' file for details

The .command.log and .command.err contain

INFO:    Environment variable SINGULARITYENV_TMPDIR is set, but APPTAINERENV_TMPDIR is preferred
INFO:    Environment variable SINGULARITYENV_NXF_TASK_WORKDIR is set, but APPTAINERENV_NXF_TASK_WORKDIR is preferred

I guess it is related to the Centrifuge problem with the tmp dir as described in nf-core/taxprofiler#422 (and solved in nf-core/taxprofiler#444).
Just wanted to mention it here, in case it is still relevant.

Command used and terminal output

nextflow run nf-core/mag -r 2.5.4 -profile test -c myM3C.config --outdir results -resume

### Relevant files

Yes, before I went travelling I was trying to address using the more recent container that allows us to fix this, this but it appears I have to replace the entire centrifuge workflow (can't mix and match local/non local modules 😞

Oh no 😞
