Since docker-compose is designed to exclusively work with rootful containers (basically the only thing docker supports), it's not a surprise you're having problems trying to run it rootless. Podman added an optional rootful daemon a few releases ago that you can run in place of/next to the docker daemon that (theoretically) supports all the same docker network functionality specifcally so docker and docker compose commands can be run unchanged on podman.
