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.

Is that "docker-compose" (with a dash) or "docker compose" (with a space)?

AFAIK docker-compose is a an older utility, and `docker compose` is the new-way to do things.
