Let’s walk through what Podman is and how to use it as a Docker alternative on Linux. Expect a straightforward guide on installing Podman, running containers with it, and understanding the basics.

Docker compose is so nice though

You can use docker compose with podman, or use podman compose.

Yeah, compose has been an open standard for a while now, that's why docker started* pushing you to rename your files to compose.yaml rather than docker-compose.yaml.

That’s really cool of docker to do

If you need a collection of containers run it as a k8s pod.

Trying to do a small thing in k3s is super simple. Trying to do a big thing in docker compose is awful.
