+## Migrating from Docker
+When you already have a Docker image for your job, you have several options to migrate to Apptainer :
+### From Dockerhub
+If you have your image ready on DockerHub, then you can simply run from the server :
+  ```bash
+  apptainer build ./datasets/yourapplication.sif docker://yourapplication:latest
+INFO:    Starting build...
+Copying blob 5a7813e071bf done   |
+Copying config a04dc4851c done   |
+Writing manifest to image destination
+/03/03 11:17:45  info unpack layer: sha256:5a7813e071bfadf18aaa6ca8318be4824a9b6297b3240f2cc84c1db6f4113040
+INFO:    Creating SIF file...
+INFO:    Build complete: ./datasets/yourapplication.sif
+  ```
+### From local image
+You can convert your image to an Apptainer .sif **on your local laptop** before uploading your .sif to the server :
+. From local docker images :
+  ```bash
+  sudo apptainer build yourapplication.sif docker-daemon://yourapplication:latest
+  [sudo] password for user.name:
+  INFO:    Starting build...

+  INFO:    Creating SIF file...
+  INFO:    Build complete: yourapplication.sif
+  scp yourapplication.sif user.name@chacha:/home/user.name/datasets/
+  ```
+. You can also build the .sif from a docker archive :
+  ```bash
+sudo docker save yourapplication:latest -o yourapplication.tar
+sudo chown user.name: yourapplication.tar
+apptainer build yourapplication.sif docker-archive://yourapplication.tar

+INFO:    Creating SIF file...
+INFO:    Build complete: yourapplication.sif
+scp yourapplication.sif user.name@chacha:/home/user.name/datasets/
+```
+### From Dockerfile
+You can convert your Docker file to an Apptainer definition file using this conversion table : https://apptainer.org/docs/user/main/docker_and_oci.html#sec-deffile-vs-dockerfile
