        The following may change if we find better detection logic.

        We roughly follow the logic in SystemD:

        https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/0747e3b60eb4496ee122066c844210ce818d76d9/src/basic/virt.c#L692

        We check the `container` environment variable of process 1:

        1. If the variable is empty, we return false. This includes the case, where the container developer wants to hide the fact that the application runs in a container.
        2. If the variable is not empty, we return true.
        3. If the variable is absent, we continue.
        4. We check files in the container. According to SystemD:/
          1. /.dockerenv is used by Docker.
          2. /run/.containerenv is used by PodMan.
        Returns:
        whether we are running in a container like Docker or Podman. Never null.
