Rootless

Introduction

In May of this year, I posted an article Building Rootless Docker, but for some reason I decided to uninstall rootless docker. The following is a summary of the uninstallation procedure. I will post the details of the circumstances that led to the uninstallation of rootless docker later.

Motivation

I have been using singularity containers instead of docker. the reason I have avoided using docker is that it requires root privileges to launch containers. I don’t have to worry about it because I’m running it at home.

I forgot the reason why, but I found out that docker has a rootless mode that allows you to run docker in normal user mode, so I decided to give it a try this time.
