I’m using HASS in a docker container, on ubuntu server.

you could try something like this:

install go2rtc and use to host a camera stream
then pull the camera stream into HA with the generic camera integration

I did it with my Klipper installation for my 3d printer. With that you need crowsnest installed and there you can configure as much usb cameras as you want. Only works when you have a 3d printer tho and needs the moonraker plugin in Home Assistant

another way of creating a stream would be "restreamer" but go2rtc is probably a better option
