[REQ] Support other container management tools

[0xDagal]

What kind of request is this?

New feature

What is your request or suggestion?

I see that copa has a strong dependency to docker, I want to use it in some Gitlab CI but to do, so I have to run a docker:dind service which is a privileged service and I do not think that copa needs all what is in docker. I would prefer to be able to chose what I use, for example, Podman.

Maybe I miss something, and it is not feasible, tell me 😃

Are you willing to submit PRs to contribute to this feature request?

• Yes, I am willing to implement it.

@0xDagal copa is based on buildkit. If there is a way to provide buildkit connection via Podman then this should be possible.

I think that to do, so I will need Podman and buildctl, is that a problem to you ? I could add a flag to run copa with those tools instead of docker if the user wants it

@0xDagal in the documentation you can find podman as a supported format to provide as a custom address: https://project-copacetic.github.io/copacetic/website/custom-address. You can use this approach to provide buildkit connection via podman.
