Creating cgroups with cgroupfs as non-root is not possible. Before this change, we used to enforce systemd as a cgroup manager for all rootless containers, but that prevents the usage of rootless youki on systems wuthout systemd. To make such usage possible, raise a warning and skip cgroup-related activities instead. That matches the behavior of crun (containers/crun#97). Fixes youki-dev#3144 Signed-off-by: Michal Rostecki <vadorovsky@disroot.org>

I would be very great-full to the youki maintainers if they could merge this PR. This would allow me to use libcontainer rootless on non-systemd systems such as alpine linux. I can try to address any blockers, if there any :) |

Sorry for being late. I'll review this PR this week or next week. |

How about creating a dedicated cgroup manager for that case? |
