Podman actually works really well. Out-of-the-box virtually-no-configuration-needed rootless containers. It's also usable via docker-compose with a single env variable. (podman-compose wasn't up to par for us)

We've been using it for a couple of years running and managing hundreds of containers per server - no feeling of flakiness whatsoever. It's virtually zeroconf and even supports GPUs for those who need it. It's like docker but better, IMO.

Hope it gets a popularity boost from CNCF. Rooting for it.

Probably DOCKER_HOST[0][1]

yeah, basically verbatim `DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock`
