Good timing! I've recently run across this at work, but on a RHEL 8.6
system, but that probably doesn't matter. I would just use podman, the
commands are mostly the same as docker, and it doesn't rely on a service
running.

If you start up a docker container with podman it will show up in cockpit.
The only thing you need to be careful of, is if you start it as a normal
user, it will be killed by systemd when you logout. To prevent this you can
run `loginctl enable-linger` to prevent this behavior.
