    It depends on what you want. Do you want containers that don’t blow away your firewall? Podman is nice, but docker can be configured a little to avoid this. Want things that autostart and don’t have issues with entry points that attempt to play with permissions/users? Docker or podman as root is necessary. Want reasonable compose support? Podman now needs a daemon/socket. Want to make build containers and not deal with permission/user remapping at all? Podman is really nice.

    Do not attempt to use podman-compose. That app is dead.

    Unfortunately if you want to make tools that will be used by other people then you must add docker support. It just owns too much of the market.














  • Yeah, the only thing kind of close is GPL3’s infectious license and that still allows for profit use assuming the code is opened. (Harder to be evil here but technically still possible.)

    Unfortunately this will cause issues if the community attempts to do anything with this package later as well. See the fiasco with Multimc and Polymc. Nobody came out of that looking particularly inviting for devs. I feel bad for the one guy that walked the line between the two licenses for as long as he did. I just ended up jumping to the community fork because they addressed my issues faster and their license ended up being more permissive.
