Anyone played around with Podman Desktop

I use podman cockpit with virtualmin on my home server, can manage everything from my phone that way

I would switch to podman if there is an easy transition from docker to podman

[magikmw@lemm.ee]

Most commands are the same. They recommend just aliasing docker to podman so you can keep using your old commands.

GUIs can be very good for getting started and learning concepts though. Much more "discoverable" and can allow for quicker iteration.

Then when learning the "proper" command line tools, the process should be easier as one already knows the concepts and terminology, and can concentrate on just the tooling.

Tried it a couple times. Went back to the CLI.

If you know the CLI or are willing to learn, the GUI is yet-another layer for bugs to exist.

I do both

This changes when you start using podman quadlets instead of docker compose, but most compose commands have an analog in the quadlet syntax. Ive yet to run into any compose files that I couldn't translate, but some functions took a bit. The quadlet docs from redhat really help there.

Look into podman compose

[mosiacmango@lemm.ee]

Its no longer supported.

Quadlets have been rolled into the podman mainline though.

Using systemd files to manage containers is excellent, its just a departure from compose

Even though it isn't technically supported it still can help with moving to Qualets and ultimately Kubernetes. You can use it to create a pod and then you can expose the configuration.
