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.

I'm confused at all these comments saying podman is hard to use, I used it a bunch last year and found it a drop in replacement for docker (though I didn't set it up).

I just set up a server running centos that has podman pre installed and I couldn't get it to work without installing additional packages and following guides.
