The perfect pair

Containerfile vs Dockerfile - Infra as code

podman vs docker - https://podman.io

podman desktop companion (author here) vs docker desktop ui - https://iongion.github.io/podman-desktop-companion

podman-compose vs docker-compose = there should be no vs here, docker-compose itself can use podman socket for connection OOB as APIs are compatible, but an alternative worth exploring nevertheless.

Things are improving at a very fast pace, the aim is to go way beyond parity, give it a chance, you might enjoy it. There is continuous active work that is enabling real choice and choice is always good, pushing everyone up.

Is networking any better with Podman on Docker Compose files? Last time I tried, most docker-compose files didn't actually work because they created networks that Podman doesn't have privileges to setup unless run as root

Afaik, the kernel network APIs are pretty complicated so it's fairly difficult to expose to unprivileged users safely

I enjoy podman. It supported cgroups v2 before Docker and is daemonless.
