When did you last use it? It _does_ support docker compose. Has for a while now actually.

I love it on Linux. The Mac version is not as smooth yet, but, for my use case, still works a hell of a lot better than docker desktop. There is something deeply wrong with docker desktop's networking, and I literally have to restart it almost every time I make a change to one of our services. Not an issue with podman.

Huh this was literally 2 weeks ago I looked into this and ended up using a third-party community podman docker compose substitute. I will have another look.

Podman listens on the docker socket, and the official docker-compose just works

Oh wow I wasn’t expecting it to work that way. I was expecting to have to use some kind of podman aliased compose alternative that copies the CLI of docker compose.

It does, but last time I tried „docker-compose build“ on podman it just failed. So it doesn’t seem to just work as a drop-in replacement
