Does anyone outside the RHEL ecosystem use Podman? 🤔 Whenever I suggest Podman, other developers or PMs insist on Docker, which is far more popular and has a stronger brand. Even many RHEL users prefer Docker. Red Hat should have addressed Docker's issues instead of creating another tool that, while good, few people want. And yes docker can run rootless too but it has same limitations as podman rootless like can not bind below 1024 port or create device nodes etc
@nixCraft Due to how we use Docker at work (mostly packaging and distribution, running in dedicated VMs as if we didn't use Docker) we've been contemplating using Podman instead to avoid running too many things as root, but haven't had the time to experiment yet. Main changes are UID/GID mapping, important when you use bind-mounts for persistence (rather than volumes) so you want control on IDs outside the container.
Also clients use Podman or kaniko for building images on gitlab ci/cd, rather than docker-in-docker.
I still default to Docker on my dev station but experiment showed I could probably switch to Podman with no impact.
@nixCraft on my PFE (2019) I discovered Docker & its alternative Podman, no idea why they create an alternative to something already without untreated issued & with MAKING THE SAME SOLUTION if not less, it is like cigarettes & cigarettes makers, cigarette makers do not smoke, also Podman main target do not use Podman, also, it is easier to integrate Jenkins with Docker
