Docker isn't available on Luria, but Singularity is, and it supports running Docker images. However, there are multiple Singularity registries online, similar to Dockerhub, which host many useful images built for use in Singularity. Below are two of these registries. It's best to look for images in these registries before deciding to use a Docker image, as Docker images can sometimes not work exactly as intended in Singularity.
