I started looking into podman quadlets on the weekend. All because docker & nft (nftables firewall) don't play nice together.

I have my finely crafted nftables ruleset that I want to keep. Docker is going to abuse the crap out of my ruleset/make me jump through extra hoops to have it work.

Having the containers operate under systemd looks fine (ignoring the fact that it is systemd, I guess I have finally accepted systemd is here to stay).

I was interested in using traefik & docker labelling to have ingress sorted out and I believe this will all play nicely enough to replace docker-compose on a single server.

If you are an individual dev and coming from the docker swarm / compose world, podman will drive you mad.

If you are a sysadmin / platform engineer / etc type familiar with kubernetes / k3s, podman has some pros and cons about it that make working in that ecosystem (systems, platforms) much nicer to manage.

What we are missing right now is a bridge between the two that podman-compose doesn't exactly fulfill for a lot of people.
