## What is Singularity?
Singularity is a container based Linux kernel workspace that works just like Docker. You can run pre-built programs in containers without having to worry about the pre-install environment. You can even run Docker containers with Singularity. Please see the [Singularity and Docker](https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/4.3/user-guide/singularity_and_docker.html) documentation by Syslabs for details about all the ways Singularity supports Docker. For a detailed introduction on Singularity, visit their [official site](https://apptainer.org/documentation/).
## What is Apptainer?
Apptainer is a container based Linux kernel workspace that works just like Docker. You can run pre-built programs in containers without having to worry about the pre-install environment. You can even run Docker containers with Apptainer.
