Impossible to run tests as non-root user

Actual behavior
Currently it is not possible to run tests as non-root user, nor to install deps / prep env. as non-root user.
In case I want to run unit-tests locally:

  • installation of deps via make test is impossible (pip installation on the host system is not acceptable)
  • installation of deps via make install-deps-container is impossible (docker requires to be run as root)

Expected behavior

  • ability to install deps into the pyenv environment
  • use of podman for containers
    • in this case, it could be done via envar; by default it could be still docker, but it should be possible to excute podman instead; e.g.: CONTAINER_UTIL=podman make install-deps-container; CONTAINER_UTIL=podman make container-test; ....

System information (please complete the following information):

  • Fedora 31

Additional info:
To make it clear, the possibility to run everything using podman could be enough. It's not required to transform everything, but there should be at least one possible way to run tests without needs of root powers.

@zhukovgreen I think you could like this one :-) It still needs a task in our jira.

@pirat89 ok, I will take a look. I will create a ticket in jira a well

I think there is something in Makefile, since I am successfully running tests in this repo without being a root. But I am not using makefile for this. Just virtualenv @pirat89

@zhukovgreen Definitely this ticket is about changes in the Makefile only.
