Let’s walk through what Podman is and how to use it as a Docker alternative on Linux. Expect a straightforward guide on installing Podman, running containers with it, and understanding the basics.
Podman is great, but I only found it useful after learning quadlets and how to use podlet to generate quadlets (or quadlet pods) from dockerfiles. Now all my containers run with nice systemd commands in rootless podman containers instead of rooted dockerfiles (coz docker requires root unless you jump through hoops, when I started you couldn’t). Quadlet syntax is so much cleaner than docker too.
You can also just use podman compose without learning a new system and just use published compose files directly.
rootless docker isn’t too difficult (anymore). I wouldn’t change a running system but for a new system it’s always podman.
I wonder why someone down-voted you. I wish people would contribute to the discussion rather than down vote sometimes.
