I’m looking to migrate all of my containers to rootless podman but need some advice.

All of my services are currently running docker compose. I’ve played arount with podman but I am unsure of best practice: I have the option of installing podman-docker, podman-compose, or docker-compose connected to a podman socket. What’s the recommended way here?

I also can’t seem to find any information on setting up a systemd unit for rootless podman compose. How are you all auto starting podman (compose) files?

    Podman’s strong suite is integration with other toolings, such as systemd and ansible.

    With ansible I could define a podman pod and containers in a playbook yml file. And Ansible can do much more, like provisioning the configuration files or setting an auto update service for podman

    The gotcha with podman is it’s networking is different from docker. So I would at least plan it out before migrating.
