It would be nice if you could publish this as a flatpak on flathub e.g.
Flatpaks are a new software distribution mechanism for Linux distros, can thus installed on any distro and are easy to update. They are easy to install and update and work on all Linux distros.
Also, if you publish it on FlatHub you may grow your user base given many distros include that and it is a common software source, so your app can be discovered more easily.
I don't know about the technical details, but with podman you could run containers rootless (maybe inside a flatpak?) or you switch to flatpak sub-sandboxing for that distribution (which is supposed to be easy from what I heard).
But here is a link to a project that looks similar and wants to do something very similar: https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone/issues/45
I came here from https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/64, because while Waydroid offers a similar feature, but (if I understood correctly due to required Linux kernel modules) is not really suitable for being run in a flatpak. But they said, this project is… happy face So, is it?

Edit: Ah it uses QEMU, well that is easy, because GNOME Boxes is a famous app that uses the same technology AFAIK, so you can adapt it from there. Especially the flathub repository may be of interest.
