docker error when using singularity image to run ks4

[a-zmz]

Hello,

i have been running ks4 with singularity successfully in the past week, but today i got an error saying docker module not found:

so then i installed docker, but got another error:

FileNotFoundError Traceback.txt

installed spikeinterface main on linux fedora 39.

Could someone please help? Thanks!
