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.
Atleast Podman is faster + does not require a centralised daemon
It doesn’t and I’m sure there are benefits, but for basic home services daemonless translated directly into more work for no benefit.
Security is always a benefit 😎
Definitely, but then it feels like it comes with a cost rather than benefit of not having a daemon. You gain more control at the cost of convenience.
Keyword there being “feel”. Cos it certainly does add security. Imo quadlets are easier to understand and write than compose files too, but to each thwir own ofc. Most important thing here is to work with what feels the most natural and making the best out of it 👍
