podman cuz docker is pozzed and woke

>>20376 (OP) I don't know Podman too much, so I'm open to learning more about it. I personally recommend Docker because the best way to deploy and play around with stuff is docker compose, which is officially supported fully, while podman-compose is a literal abandoned project by a random guy. Podman is compatible with Docker though, so if you want to switch later, you can do it. Also keep in mind that Docker != Docker Desktop. Docker is free software and it's the engine itself, while Docker Desktop is just a frontend for it, and it's non-free software. Though I think Podman is easier to install, so that's also a thing to consider, but if you're going to learn Docker, you should absolutely learn how to install it.

With docker I Frequently do things like bind mount / to my container, so podman as a container environment doesn't make any sense to me. Reducing the amount of things you can do for improved "security" doesn't mean much when I'm not using containers to be secure but rather as a way to ship reproducible environments. With podman, if I have a .tar with images in it and a docker compose file, how am I expected to update the host and restart myself without a host agent to drive the upgrade process?

Podman is a nicer citizen on my system. It doesn't shit up the place like the way docker does, fucking with my iptables rules and whatnot. Early on, the most attractive selling point for me was rootless containers. You can do that with docker now, but at this point I'll just stick with podman. I'm not a fan of Red Hat either, but sometimes they're the top dog in their niche. Podman werkz.
