So run it as root then? Am I missing something?
- DangitBobby 6y agoIf GP thinks the selling point of podman is that it doesn't have to run as root, but to actually do anything meaningful they have to run it as root after all, why would they use podman?
- znpy 6y agoA rootless docker would greatly simplify some use cases... For example, no need to do docker in docker. Edit: apparently now net4slirp is recommended... Maybe I'll give it another try.
- fuzxi 6y agoThe other major benefit of podman is that it doesn't use a daemon.
- speedgoose 6y agoMany people say that, but don't feel like it's very important. Having a deamon or not is a technical detail that most people do not care about in my opinion. And it has advantages too, like accessing Docker remotely or from another VM on the same host, or directly from the host which is nice for Docker on Mac or Windows.

- speedgoose 6y agoThese issues are because the deamon is root, not because it's a deamon.
