Podman - Add troubleshooting text for Docker daemon not started #488

Description

When running with Podman in a rootless environment, the daemon configuration can get tricky. If we have a daemon failure and are able to somehow detect they are running podman (or not) we should show the following info steps to configure.

As a non-root user run:

systemctl --user enable podman.socket
systemctl --user start podman.socket
systemctl --user status podman.socket

export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock

sudo -s
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
exit

The other problem with rootless configurations is that the home drive is typically too small to unpack a container so you have to add a disk then mount to /home, grant permissions and then run restorecon -R -v $HOME/.local/share/containers.
