Related problem

The quickstart guide and cpac page in the documentation don't explicitly state that a container platform needs to be installed (and in the case of Docker, that the daemon needs to be running) for cpac to work.

Proposed feature

We should clarify that that a user needs at least one of these installed (and in the case of Docker running) for cpac to work.

Acceptance criteria

  • Quickstart guide links to Docker and Singularity installation instructions
  • cpac page links to Docker and Singularity installation instructions

Additional context

From my perspective these are the main pros and cons:

Pros Cons
Docker • more mature • more documentation • wider feature set • larger footprint on disk • requires special permissions • requires daemon to be running
Singularity • lighter weight • no special permissions required • only runs when called • less mature • less documentation • narrower feature set
