According to @VickySteeves Singularity is now quite common on HPC clusters. I checked and NYU's new cluster, Prince, has singularity 2.3.1 available.

We should write an unpacker for reprounzip that uses Singularity. I don't expect it would be much work either.

What are the differences between docker and singularity?

Singularity does less isolation and is therefore more suitable for HPC environments. It's more about deploying environments than containerizing processes.

It looks like it's easy enough to import a tarball so this should be easy.
