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.


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 👍
