This looks potentially very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing.
How tied is it to the Docker daemon?
Instead of Docker, could one use podman, which doesn't need root.
That's a good question, I think only this class would need to be reimplemented for podman: https://github.com/afroisalreadyinu/miniboss/blob/main/minib... . The question is of course whether there are any incompatibilities in terms of networking etc.
The biggest difference/issue is that podman doesn't provide a daemon of events on its own.
It's docker-compose compatibility is tied up in essentially re-implementing/emulating that, which partially defeats the purpose.
My main need for the daemon component is https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion which listens to docker events to know when a new service is available to proxy.
