I have such a huge arsenal of custom tools to manage Docker, that I envy Podman users because I can't move to it because of this technical debt.

I just keep hoping that Docker isn't that bad and is a good alternative to Podman, because I've read mostly good things about the it, while Docker usually gets dragged through the dirt.

Podman itself is good but on the tooling side it falls down.

Docker tooling tends to work with podman but you have to do a bunch of stuff like run a server to imitate docker. At that point why bother?

A bunch of stuff being enabling a single systemd service, and pointing the DOCKER_HOST env to said service.
From what I remember it wasnt just that.
