+* A rootless alternative to Docker is using [Apptainer](https://apptainer.org/). In order to run NodeODM together with ClusterODM on HPC, we need a rootless alternative to Docker, and that's where Apptainer comes in to play. From the Linux command line, cd into the NodeODM folder and run the following commands to host a NodeODM instance:
+
+```
+apptainer build --sandbox node/ singularity.def
+apptainer run --writable node/ 
+```
+
 Linux users can connect to 127.0.0.1.
