Prioritize documentation of installation using podman or quadlets over documentation of installation using docker #701

Description

Given the following statement:

The Invidious docker image is only available on Quay because, unlike Docker Hub, Quay is Free and Open Source Software. This is reflected in the docker-compose.yml file used in this walk-through.

it would be consistent to prioritize installation documentation that describes how to run Invidious using either podman or quadlets over documentation for using docker because the former is fully open source while the latter has non-trivial proprietary components.

While podman strives to be docker-compatible, there is nevertheless friction in translating docker instructions to work with podman, let alone with quadlets (podman+systemd). If the burden of maintaining another set of installation instructions is deemed too high for the project, then perhaps switching from docker to podman and requiring those that would prefer to use the more proprietary docker have the burden of translating instructions designed for podman into those appropriate for docker would be more consistent with the principle statement quoted above.
