EDIT: For some context, I recently gave podman another go. I have a few services on my homelab server set up in docker containers, so I tried migrating to podman.

After the second major bug (open issue on github) I encountered looked like it would require completely dropping using compose files to work around, I gave up and went back to docker.

I like the idea of podman, but it’s just not stable. I’ll try again in a year or so.

As a bonus, docker’s CLI is significantly nicer.

    Docker desktop is not. (open source)

    Which can be a pretty big deal.

    This works out to: The product is unencumbered, but the only reliable installer is encumbered as fuck.

    That’s a “no thanks”, from me.

    I don’t need the sword of “Docker fucking with my colleague’s ability to collaborate” hanging over each of my projects.

    I’m not mad at folks using Docker for backwards compatibility. I just don’t need to make the problem worse.

      I found Docker pretty easy to install. Though apparently it’s harder on windows, where they suggest you just use docker desktop, in which case, yeah, fair point. But I’d just put docker in WSL if I had the misfortune of having to use it on Windows.

        That’s exactly what I’m doing at work. Works a treat especially since I’m fine with CLI.

        Keep in mind that some WSL configuration might be required for better experience — like setting networkingMode to mirrored.

        Sharing code between WSL filesystem and Windows is still somewhat of a hassle.

        Oh, thanks! I might try WSL next time, should I be so unfortunate, again.
