Nice to see some alternatives for docker for mac. If you want to keep it simple, simply running a vm (on your device or remotely) and let the docker client talk to it via ssh. I used qemu for this a while ago as it seems is podman. All you need to do for this is set the DOCKER_HOST variable. It gets slightly tricky with e.g. volume mounts of course. But otherwise this works fine. Including with docker-compose. The only other thing you need to do is some port forwarding from the vm; which you can do with ssh as well. Podman, Colina, and other tools are essentially just nicer versions of this with a bit more features.
