Local New-PSSession fails in official powershell linux based docker images

Running powershell core using docker (official microsoft images), I am trying to set up a local session in my script so I can later execute code in that session.

I have tried using the following Linux Images:

6.2.3-alpine-3.8
6.2.3-centos-7
6.2.3-debian-9
6.2.3-ubuntu-18.04

In both alpine and debian I am getting error: This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found. WSMan is either not installed or unavailable for this system.

In both Centos & Ubuntu I am getting error: MI_RESULT_ACCESS_DENIED

I tried digging the error but it was only mentioned in cases of trying to remote from linux to windows, while here all I am trying to do is open the most basic local session.

        $FullCommand = "Invoke-Expression $CompleteScript"
        $Session = New-PSSession
        [scriptblock]$ScriptBlock = [scriptblock]::Create($FullCommand)
        Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock

or

        $Session = New-PSSession
        Invoke-Expression -Session $Session -Command $CompleteScript

Before even moving on to remote sessions from linux to windows I would like to establish a local session and be able to execute code on it.

I am new to powershell so might be missing something, but I expected local session to work on at least one of microsoft's official docker images of powershell core, the documentation there didn't give me any insight on the issue.

I used the following dockerfile snippet to install WSMan, as proposed here.

#install powershell WSMan.Management module 
RUN pwsh -Command "Install-Module -Name PSWSMan -Force"
RUN pwsh -Command "Install-WSMan"
