Containers have been there before Docker, but Docker made them popular,
exactly for the same reason as why Ceph wants to use them: ship a known
good version (CI tests) of the software with all dependencies, that can be
run "as is" on any supported platform.

So ship it tested for container software XXX and run it on YYY. How will
that benefit me as a user? There are differences when running a docker
container, lxc, nspawn, podman, kubernetes and whatever. So you trade error
A for error B. There are even problems with containers if you don't use
version X from docker. That's what the past told us, why should it be
better in the future with even more container environments. Have you tried
running rancher on debian in the past? It breaks apart due to iptables or
other stuff.
