You can use docker-compose with podman.

Through it has similar drawbacks as using docker-compose with docker.

As far as I know there is currently no rootless way on Linux to setup custom internal networks like docker compose does (hence why podman-compose doesn't support such things).

There definitely is a way as creating custom networks works perfectly fine with rootless docker. I'm surprised if podman doesn't support that since it uses rootlesskit (same as rootless docker) which does the heavy lifting for rootless networking.
