Visual Paradigm CE Containerised

Notes

Due to how the Visual Paradigm script is designed, after configuring the license on the first run the container may stop and require restarting. This is normal behaviour and should only happen on the first run (fix in progress).

I build and run this using podman on Linux, no support will be provided for docker, other container engines or other operating systems.
