Consider Installing Miniconda in /workspace Instead of /root in Dockerfile

[alex-ht]

Is it possible to install Miniconda in the /workspace directory in Dockerfile? Since in HPC environments, Singularity is commonly used, and access to the /root directory may not always be permitted.

Hey, that's an interesting point. If it's in Docker container, would /root even be an issue? You're not supposed to mount root dir or anything, only the volume directory at most to store model checkpoints/data files.

There are no issues when using Docker.
Docker allows for separation between the container’s /root and the host’s /root, but to my knowledge, this kind of isolation isn’t achievable with Singularity.
