It is very handy in SLURM clusters and servers where you have no sudo.

Some attrition using it though: is there a good in-depth book about it?

I used it on a SLURM cluster before. The documentation is done well and should be a good introduction. The only issue I had was that the cluster didn't have fakeroot or sudo, so I had to build the apptainer locally and transfer it to the server.

Exactly: in most HPC clusters / servers one has no sudo.
