## Feedback Content
>If the main goal is to avoid asking for super user permission in the install script (as found in a comment on HN), then you don't need to change a lot of things.

>Say hello to podman.

>It lets you run docker containers without super user permissions. Just guide your users to install that instead of docker. Also you could detect its presence in the installation script and skip the sudo accordingly.
