Does podman support docker compose files well? Devs love them for local environments.

I’ve been using it on my Fedora server because I make myself. I think all functionality and syntax is covered. However, the user feedback and TUI of docker-compose is way nicer (interactive at least). Also, podman compose does seem to recreate containers that do not need to be recreated in more cases than I have noticed docker compose do.

You can run the standalone version for docker-compose against podman. You just need to have the podman.socket systemd service running.

Yes indeed. I have that on other systems as well. But I try to keep both around to notice these kind of differences. (I’m working on tooling that relies on docker compose files so I like to see how it behaves in different setups.)
