5 => DPS will try workarounds to automatically restart system-resolved when running inside a container

Below some references of possible workarounds, if DPS fails or the requirements of the workarounds were not available it will only log that won't possible to restart systemd-resolved and ask the user to do that as said in scope 1

I'm considering that maybe this feature doesn't makes sense, docker containers are made to isolate programs execution from their hosts, if the program is intended to make changes at the host them this program just should run at the host, without a docker container.

For now I will advise people to run DPS without docker or to run DPS on docker on host network mode or with a static IP then they will be able to manually configure the DNS server at the host at once.
