This article is inspired by our LinuxCommunity.io forum discussion thread (thanks to users @tmick and @shybry747 for the feedback). Let's walk through

Let’s walk through what Podman is and how to use it as a Docker alternative on Linux. Expect a straightforward guide on installing Podman, running containers with it, and understanding the basics.

    I like quadlets, but I wish podlet could handle translating external networks. Right now, it just fails, and needs manual intervention. Also, afaik, there’s no way to preserve comments when translating.

    For me, it’s the opposite. I vastly prefer the compose syntax. In general, I guess I prefer yaml based syntax to toml or json based ones. It’s just more readable due to the indentation.

      Yeah, valid, it always needs an eye on the output, but it gets you at least 90+% of the way, often 100%.

      I like that the syntax is systemd derived, YMMV I guess.

        I don’t “like” it over YAML, but I like that I can use systemd specifiers.
