Both podman and docker have pretty poor error handling in my experience.
It depends on the error, but for me it often comes down to a docker compose misconfiguration, resource, permissions, etc. In docker always find the errors quite difficult to trace back to root cause.
In podman you get a python a stack trace.
I wish both projects would assert different assumptions/requirements at runtime and report errors/warnings in a human-readable way.
