Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We should test and evaluate podman as an alternative to docker.

Describe the solution you'd like A step by step guide to migrate EMBA from docker to podman. This should also include pitfalls and areas that are not working with podman.

In a first step both mechanisms should coexist before complete migration will happen

This issue needs extensive testing with different firmware images to trigger all different EMBA modules

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research and document a step by step migration guide from Docker to Podman for EMBA, including compatibility testing with various firmware images to ensure all modules work. Identify any pitfalls and areas where Podman does not work. Propose a coexistence strategy before full migration.
