I am trying to install Docker for a research project, but I don’t seem to have access to apt or dpkg.
Our users don’t have sudo on the cluster, so you aren’t able to run apt-get. Also, the OS on the cluster is Redhat Linux, not Debian, so dpkg isn’t available. However, we do have Singularity available as a module. Singularity works with Docker. For information on using modules, see: https://www.uvm.edu/vacc/kb/knowledge-base/load-software-packages/
For information about using Singularity with Docker, see: Support for Docker and OCI — Singularity User Guide 3.7 documentation
