Should I bother learning Podman?

Meow.tar.gz@lemmy.goblackcat.com to Linux@lemmy.ml – 64 points –

I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

That's because podman-compose is not a goal for the project IIRC. Therefore, it will never be feature complete. They encourage using systemd or other tools to manage the pods. It seems that podman-compose is just not an enterprise use case.

Edit: so if docker-compose is important then yea, stick to docker. I moved to using systemd instead. Podman can generate the systems files for you.

For sure. Systemd, and k8s are the target deployments, not some third place like docker compose seems to like
