I tried podman compose quite a few months ago with my docker compose file and it failed, what is the difference between doing that and this?

So like, you can use docker compose for podman instead of docker, instead of something like podman compose?

The difference is that instead of using podman-compose you use the actual docker-compose.

You have to point your $DOCKER_HOST to the podman unix socket or something, but other than that it’s the actual docker-compose experience. Via the env var trick you could even use the actual docker binary. But you could just alias docker to podman and it works the same, by design!
