Hi steffen, we propose singularity in our hcp env too. There is no issue to run *docker* images as images follow a standard managed by all *docker* like tools. For info, you mat have a look too at podman. Like singularity it supports root-less env. Singularity cons is non-root env , but for most of our users this is fine as long as they do not need to modify container content. May be an issue for *some* tools writing in /var/lib|cache etc.. but most will be fine.
