podman is free and available in most distributions now.

One of the advantages of podman, even if you're still running containers as 
root, is that is plays nicely with systemd/cgroups. Docker containers would end 
up running in whatever cgroup the docker daemon was running in rather than the 
one the docker command was run from.

So in a way, podman can be made even more secure than Docker as it can be run 
in a cgroup with restricted permissions just for that application.
