If you install a modern Fedora distro in a chroot and use that as the
filesystem for the container, then you have a container that uses
systemd for startup. There is nothing special you should ned todo with
system - it ought to "just work" as systemd is designed to easily cope
with running inside a container. For reference see also this:
