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.

        Podman-compose is not feature complete IIRC. There are many more issues I can go into if you’d like.

          Many that i’m sure docker works tirelessly to keep in there, to prevent podman from gaining market share

          hardly a point in docker’s favor

            Am not going to allow that excuse. Podman is backed by Redhat, the biggest corporate in the Linux world.

          This is what prevented me from using podman, unfortunately. That and the setup for devcontainers in vscode wasnt exactly seamless.

          Unfortunate since their windows support is great.

            Podman could never compare to the quality of docker. I wish people who don’t know any better would just stop comparing the two and suggesting podman as a replacement.

          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.
