Support Podman in place of Docker

[Expro]

Container's ecosystem moved from Docker to alternatives, such as Podman, long time ago. Please update project to support Podman.

Hi @Expro, I do not believe explicit Podman support is something the team is working on at the moment. We have however recently uploaded our docker containers to GHCR to make it easier to use Magentic UI (which might also make Magentic UI easier to work with Podman)

Alternatively, we updated our documentation so you should be able to run with the --run-without-docker flag. We do note this is a limited version as running without containerization limits Magentic-UI to only the web surfer agent

If you're interested in implementing this, we'd be happy to review a PR

As @matheusmaldaner mentioned, this is not currently on our priority list, feel free to modify the code to use Podman

I am also looking for podman support. alias docker=podman does not work.

Hi @halllo, I do not believe implementing Podman support is high in the team's priority list, but if you're interested in implementing this you could open a PR and I'd be happy to take a look
