docker is garbage. They are hostile towards running systemd inside
containers.

podman upstream is a lot friendly, and apparently what everyone in OCI
is going towards these days.

I have not much experience with podman though, and in particular not
old versions. Next step would probably be to look at what precisely
causes the permission issue, via strace.

but did you make sure your container actually gets write access to the
cgroup trees?

anyway, i'd recommend asking the podman community for help about this.
