Nice!

Unfortunately I got this error upon opening the Mac app:

  Uncaught Exception:
  TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setImage')
  at NativeTheme.<anonymous> (file:///Applications/Container%20Desktop.app/  Contents/Resources/app.asar/build/main-5.2.3.mjs:22:537771)
  at NativeTheme.emit (node:events:519:28)

Nothing seems to be wrong, but that was surprising.

Also, it's not obvious from the site that Container Desktop does bundle Podman along wit it, unlike Docker Desktop. The analogy with the latter and the subtitle "Podman Desktop Companion" on the site made me think it might include a bundled Podman installation.

That said I do like the idea, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying it. For context, I'm not a Kubernetes user, mostly just Compose and plain `docker run` for ad-hoc things.

Thanks, just released 5.2.4 to address the flatpak issue you mention above. I am sorry for that, it is extremely hard to support so many formats on linux.

I am documenting myself as much as I can to be able to publish to flatpak hub, but there is a lot to get to do it properly.

I understand that packaging cross platform apps is hard. Just note that I was talking about the MacOS package, not Flatpak.

It was the same issue, solved for mac also.

Unfortunately FYI now the ARM64 app is now rejected by MacOS Sonoma on my M1, saying it's "damaged" and can't be opened. However the x86 version seems to work, presumably under Rosetta.

unfortunately this is because I cant afford to digitally sing mac apps, there is a trick to make it work in the USAGE.md but it is up to you. 200 euros per year for a pro bono project is ridiculous, you can also easily build your own dmg file from the sources as it is an open source project in the end.
