1) Podman is available in default debian repos. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/podman

2) `podman run --entrypoint="" --rm -it debian:stable /bin/bash`

in most instances you can just alias docker to podman and carry on. It uses OCI formatted images just like docker and uses the same registry infrastructure that docker uses.

Installing `podman-docker` will do the aliasing for you.

Where does it pull the Debian image from?

I would think the Docker infrastructure is financed by Docker Inc as a marketing tool for their paid services? Are they ok when other software utilizes it?

On my system it asks between a few different public registries, and dockerhub/docker.io is one of the choices.

t's all public infrastructure for hosting container images, I don't think Docker-the-company minds other software interfacing with it. After all, they get to call them 'Docker images', 'Dockerfiles', and put their branding everywhere. At this point

By default it uses whatever is in registries.conf for unqualified-search-registries. You can specify in the fully qualified image name if you'd like.

I can't speak to what Docker Inc. is okay with or not.
