I ditched Docker for Podman

On the topic of ditching Docker, has anyone else created a custom test harness with QEMU? I feel like I'm the only person doing it this way. QEMU's target userbase is emulators in general, which is a much broader audience with way more development effort going into it, therefore I don't think it can ever go "out of fashion" or get hijacked by perverse corporate interests like Docker can. Podman seems to have the same vulnerability.

This is what Lima is, which is the basis for Colima which runs on top with all the Docker runtime stuff

Interesting, thanks. Looks much better than Docker/Podman. But seems to suffer from the same incentive issue. I think I'll stick with my raw QEMU setup, Lima seems like QEMU + batteries, but I already built the batteries.

Fun fact podman desktop is just a front end to Lima, or was last I checked

Yeah, seems like the power law is at play here. I made my test harness in 2020 so I didn't have a choice as Lima didn't exist back then. I should have waited a year. I'll certainly keep an eye on it
