The main issue is podman support on Ubuntu. Ubuntu ships outdated podman versions that don't work out of the box. So I use podman v5, GitHub actions uses podman v3, and my coworkers on Ubuntu use docker. So now my script must work with old podman, recent podman and docker

Yes! I really like the idea of podman, but after 4 hours trying to make it work on 24.04, I reverted to Docker and compose.

There is some dissonance in presenting Podman as a plug-in replacement for Docker, and making it so damn hard to install on (some category's) most popular contemporary LTS Linux distro.
