There are converters like https://github.com/singularityhub/docker2singularity The reason is that HPC is increasingly allowing Singularity and if we can write a nice BLOG about that it would attract attention. Writing containers with Guix is so much nicer than with Ubuntu or similar as a base-line. And more secure and light-weight too. Pj.
