I'd rather keep the current setup as it is, and have it keep working as we
try out the containers. We can remove it once the containers are working
well...

I'm all for using podman down the line, but there are a few reasons why we
need docker currently:

   1. All our existing code had been developed and tested on Docker, we
   will switch to podman eventually, but we're not gonna be ready for that in
   the near future.
   2. The main thing we want to do is use the jenkins-docker plugin to spin
   up and remove the containers for us - there is AFAIK is no plugin for
   podman ATM.

WRT non privileged use - we're currently still running mock inside the
container, so we need it to be privileged...
